Server control and defined software networking
First Claim
1. A system for communication comprising:
- a server enabled to communicate with at least one network; and
wherein a plurality of network connections are under the supervision and/or control of the server; and
a network switch box, wherein the network switch box is configured with a plurality of ports, wherein the network switch box is connected to a plurality of networks by wired and/or wireless connectivity;
wherein the network switch box is configured to transfer data between networks; and
wherein the network switch box and a wireless device or a mobile device from different networks coexist in a virtual network;
and wherein a plurality of overlay networks are enabled such that the wireless device or the mobile device exists in one or more wired and/or wireless networks simultaneously; and
wherein a software capability resident at the server or a network server is enabled to determine the control factors for the data transfer; and
wherein a transmit and receive capability includes the route of data to or between one or more of a computer system or a network server system; and
wherein the rate at which data is transferred from one or more systems is enabled by multiple communication paths.

Abstract
Many concentric/overlaying networks exist in one or more wired or wireless networks simultaneously. The network box or mobile device may use one or more transmission protocols as deemed optimal and appropriate by the local server or the super server located in a LAN, WAN or the Internet. The units have the ability to multiplex between one or more transmission protocols. T/R may be located within or in close proximity to computer system to route the data. The software capability that is resident at the server level is capable of dynamically determining a number of factors for best data transfer, the best transmission frequencies and protocols, the best error correction and channel coding algorithms and multiplexes the transmission paths and tasks. Various optical and wireless protocols can co-exist in a network. Multiple communication environments are enabled by the data paths having devices such as CT/MDs, network switch boxes, and combinations.

11. A system for networks including a virtual network and a server comprising:
-
a first network switch box and a second network switch box, and wherein the first network switch box and the second network switch box are configured to operate on a plurality of networks, wherein the first network switch box and the second network switch box are configured with a wired and/or wireless capability;
wherein the first network switch box and the second network switch box are configured to transmit and receive a plurality of data streams;and wherein the server is configured for communication with the first network switch box and the second network switch box and a communication protocol to control the network path of the first network switch box and the second network switch box using a controller;
wherein at least one network switch box and a wireless device from different networks coexist in a virtual network; and
wherein said virtual network is under the supervision of the server;and wherein a plurality of overlay networks are enabled such that a plurality of communication devices including the first network switch box and second network switch box exist in two or more wired or wireless networks simultaneously; and
wherein a software capability resident on the server determines the control factors for the data transfer between the first network switch box and second network switch box including the route of data to a computer system or a network server system including wherein the rate at which data is transferred from one or more systems is configurable to include multiple paths to a remote system including a data path between two optical networks or a wireless hop or combinations thereof. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
