Patent abstract
The present invention relates to a device and method for managing inbound and outbound communications for a multi-homed network. A connection manager is located on a local network that is connected to an external network, such as the Internet, through multiple service provider connections. The connection manager intercepts all communication packets that are inbound to the local network from the external network and all packets that are outbound from the local network to the external network. The connection manager then associates the packets with a particular ISP connection based on the availability and bandwidth load status of the ISP connections.
