Multi-link PPP over heterogeneous single path access networks
First Claim
1. A method of an access device, comprising;
- associating the access device with a single-path network and at least one other network; and
accessing a data of a service provider through an aggregation server connected to the single-path network and the other network, and enabling to transfer the data between the aggregation-server and the access device at a combined throughput speed of the single-path network and the at least one other network.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses enabling secure multi-link point to point protocol over connected heterogeneous single path access networks are described. In one embodiment, a method of an access device includes associating the access device with a single-path network and at least one other network, and accessing a data of a service provider through an aggregation server connected to the single-path network and the other network. In one embodiment, the aggregation server transfers the data to the access device at a combined throughput speed of the single-path network and the at least one other network. The method may include maintaining a connection between the access device and the aggregation server even when any one or more of the single-path network and the at least one other network disconnect.

13. A system, comprising:
-
a back-bone network;
an aggregation server connected to the back-bone network to enable a secure multi-link point to point connection over heterogeneous single path access networks;
a first single path network having a first access method and a second single path network having another access method connected to the aggregation server to form an aggregated connection;
an access device associated with the first single path network and the second single path network; and
a proxy device in the first single path network to transport the layer-2 session between the access-device and aggregation-server, when the first single-path access network does not provide direct layer-2 connectivity. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A machine-accessible medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a processor, will cause the processor to perform operations of an aggregation server, comprising:
-
receiving a data through a back-bone network from a service provider;
aggregating bandwidth of a first single path network and a second single path network, both of which are connected to an access device;
encrypting and decrypting at least some of the data based upon time sensitive and single-channel network dependent encryption algorithms of the aggregation server; and
transmitting the data to the access device based upon the time sensitive and single-channel network dependent encryption algorithms through a speed of the aggregated bandwidth. - View Dependent Claims (20)
