Routing of data transmission connection
First Claim
1. A method for routing a data transmission connection between terminal equipment and a host over a data transmission network, wherein a data transmission network includes at least two access points for connection of the terminal equipment to the data transmission network, the method comprising:
- establishing a criterion for a choice of an access point;
evaluating access points according to said criterion;
choosing at least two of the access points which meet said criterion; and
connecting data transmission traffic simultaneously through the at least two chosen access points.

Abstract
A problem with known data transmission networks is that the connection of the terminal equipment to the data transmission network is not flexible. The user must himself actively perform the choice and connection of access as well as it registration with the network nodal point. The invention concerns a method and an arrangement for routing a data transmission connection between terminal equipment and a host over a data transmission network, which network includes at least two access points for connecting the terminal equipment to the data transmission network. The method is characterized in that a least one criterion is established for the choice of access point, the access points are estimated according to said criteria, at least one access point meeting the criteria is chosen, and the data transmission traffic is connected through the chosen at least one access point.
