COMMUNICATION TERMINAL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PERFORMING COMMUNICATION BY USING PLURALITY OF NETWORK INTERFACES MOUNTED ON THE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method of performing communication by using a plurality of network interfaces mounted on a communication terminal apparatus, the method comprising:
- allocating different Internet protocol (IP) addresses of the plurality of network interfaces to a plurality of applications of the communication terminal apparatus, each network interface having a corresponding different IP address;
relaying data transmitted or received between the plurality of applications and the plurality of network interfaces based on the allocated IP addresses; and
simultaneously performing communication with at least one external network via the plurality of network interfaces with relayed data.
