Abstract:
1. A system for generating an enhanced data, comprising: an input interface that receives data associated with a modem-based data session established via at least one circuit-switched network communicating with at least one asymmetric-routing data network that is capable of facilitating a transfer over the at least one asymmetric-routing network of data packets that are encapsulated in a tunneling-protocol and that are associated with the modem-based data session and operable to send using the tunneling protocol for delivery via one or more virtual point-to-point connections based on a destination address associated with the tunneling-protocol-encapsulated data packets; at least one enhancement cluster for receiving and processing the tunneling-protocol-encapsulated data packets that enhances a connection from a source to a destination network; and at least one virtual point-to-point connection for communicating the tunneling-protocol-encapsulated data packets over at least one communications path traversing the at least one asymmetric-routing data network and operable to convey data-types that utilize a point-to-point connection, wherein the at least one communications path couples the input interface to the at least one enhancement cluster based on the destination address, and wherein the at least one virtual point-to-point connection emulates a dedicated point-to-point connection path connecting the input interface to the at least one enhancement cluster.
