First Claim
Patent Images
1. A network gateway, comprising:
- a decision unit for determining, based on at least one network event, if each frame of incoming frames are associated with at least one service;
a processing unit for processing frames determined to be associated with the at least one service;
a queue for buffering frames; and
a traffic shaper for performing bandwidth management on frames stored in the queue.

13. A method for enabling efficient data communication between a ground network and an aerial network, comprising:
-
transparently intercepting a frame flowing between the ground network and the aerial network; determining if at least one service is associated with the intercepted frame; processing the intercepted frame according to the at least one service being associated with the frame; and relaying the processed frame to a data link between the ground network and the aerial network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable code when executed causing a processor to perform the process of:
-
transparently intercepting a frame flowing between the ground network and the aerial network; determining if at least one service is associated with the intercepted frame; processing the intercepted frame according to the at least one service being associated with the frame; and relaying the processed frame to a data link between the ground network and the aerial network.
