Abstract

See full text

Aspects of the present invention include a connectivity application for connecting computer devices to communication networks such as the Internet. The connectivity application, such as, for example, a dialer, communicates with an access provider to ensure the connectivity application is using current connection data. Through the management of the connection data for a large number of connectivity applications, a management server advantageously provides a system administrator the ability to manage capacity, quality and traffic flow through hardware and software systems of an access provider. Moreover, the management server advantageously provides the ability to route around access points experiencing service interruptions, disruptions, or the like.
