Abstract

See full text

This present application relates to, among other things, novel techniques to evaluate and qualify multiple networking options. A device contains multiple network connectivity options, including but not limited to various wireless and wired technologies such as Wi-Fi, 3G, WiMAX, LTE, Ethernet, Bluetooth, UWB, WHDMI, etc. Each connectivity option can be evaluation and pre-qualified prior to the user selecting that mode of communication. This evaluation process takes into account both lower-layer information such as signal strength, bit error rates, SNR, interference, etc. but also network-layer information such as IP connectivity, and end-to-end path performance.
