Abstract

See full text

A method for coordinating and controlling multiple data streams representing a data transmission session that terminate in different termination units (such as network access servers) using a virtual data stream tunnel is presented. The data streams are transmitted over two or more links, collectively forming a 'bundle. One of the termination units that receives a data stream is designated as the termination unit to receive and reconstruct a call. The designated termination unit is the 'owner' of the bundle. A termination unit that is a not a bundle owner creates a virtual tunnel to the termination unit that is the bundle owner, and sends data streams through the virtual tunnel to the bundle owner to reconstruct the call. The designated termination unit reconstructs the data streams for the bundle and directs the bundle to a destination.
