Abstract

See full text

A technique for enabling multiple terminals to simulate data traffic of a single virtual terminal includes transmitting from a first transmitting terminal a request to establish a communication session between the first transmitting terminal and a receiving terminal, where the first transmitting terminal is one a plurality of transmitting terminals. The first transmitting terminal receives at least one message from the receiving terminal to establish the communication session. Once the communication session is established between the first transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal, data traffic is transmitted from the plurality of transmitting terminals to the receiving terminal within the communication session such that the receiving terminal is unaware that more than one transmitting terminal is transmitting within the communication session. The communication session is maintained by transmitting maintenance messages from at least one of the plurality of transmitting terminals to the receiving terminal throughout the communication session.
