1. A method for transmitting data packets by a first communications router to a second communications router through a plurality of network interfaces, comprising:

  • when probability of a first aggregated end-to-end connection not satisfying a first condition has reached a predefined threshold;

    a. allowing a second network interface to transmit and receive data packets when a predefined number of data packet drops within a predefined time period is detected;

    wherein the first aggregated end-to-end connection is established through at least two of the plurality of network interfaces;

    wherein packet drop rate information for transmitting the data packets is monitored continuously;

    wherein the established end-to-end connections have different bandwidth capabilities;

    wherein the first condition is selected from a group consisting of performance metric, service provider, location, time, usage price, security, user identity, Internet Protocol (IP) address range, communication protocol, communication technology, application, and device.
