1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, perform a method of directing transmission of data comprising a plurality of data packets over a plurality of wireless links using an allocation server, the method comprising:

  • receiving an indication of a first endpoint;

    receiving an indication of a second endpoint;

    receiving an indication from each of a plurality of wireless links communicatively coupling the first and second endpoints, wherein the plurality of wireless links includes a first wireless link and a second wireless link;

    monitoring data, by an allocation server, transmitted via each of the plurality of wireless links between the first and second endpoints, wherein monitoring data further comprises monitoring one or more of the following;

    an amount of jitter between the first and second endpoints,an amount of packet loss between the first and second endpoints,oran amount of latency between the first and second endpoints;

    based on monitoring the data, dividing, at a first multiplexer, the plurality of data packets between more than one of the plurality of wireless links by directing a first portion of the plurality of data packets to a first wireless link and a second portion of the plurality of data packets to a second wireless link as instructed by the allocation server, wherein an initial sequence of the plurality of data packets for transmission between the first and second endpoints is altered by the dividing; and

    at a second multiplexer, reordering the plurality of data packets to the initial sequence prior to delivery to the first endpoint or the second endpoint.
