CONNECTIFY, INC.

One example may include transmitting and receiving data by a device over one or more data channels, determining one or more of an upload data rate and a download data rate of the one or more data channels are below a data rate threshold, and bonding two or more of the data channels to create one or more of an aggregated upload data rate and an aggregated download data rate, wherein at least one of the two or more data channels is only used to transmit or receive data.

One example process may include receiving, via a virtual private network (VPN) server, a communication from a client device among various client devices currently operating on a VPN, determining the client device communication is intended for one or more other of the client devices operating on a virtual overlay network managed by a data network management entity server operating on the VPN, determining, via the VPN server, the client device and the one or more other of the client devices are registered to the virtual overlay network, and forwarding, via the VPN server, the communication to one or more other VPN servers which are communicating with the one or more of other of the client devices.

One example may include closing, via a client device, an active transport socket associated with a communication session with a virtual private network (VPN) server after identifying a period of data inactivity over a first network, identifying, via the client device, new application data traffic intended for a remote destination, forwarding, via the client device, a message on a second network to the VPN server, and the message includes previously used session information, and re-establishing the communication session between the client device and the VPN server when the previously used session information matches one or more session parameters stored in a client profile.

One example process may include receiving data at a mobile device from a cellular data channel associated with a cellular network during a communication session comprising an IP address assigned to the mobile device for use during the communication session, determining the mobile device is within a communication range of one or more available wireless local area networks (WLANs), establishing a WLAN channel between the mobile device and a WLAN among the one or more WLANs and pausing the cellular data channel, transmitting and receiving data using the IP address over the WLAN channel as part of the communication session; monitoring a performance of the WLAN channel, identifying a failing data exchange over the WLAN channel between the mobile device and the WLAN, resuming the cellular data channel to supplement the data exchanged by the mobile device, and forwarding the data from the mobile device over the cellular data channel and the WLAN channel during the session.

One example process may include determining whether an Internet connection of a client device to a network is to a primary priority network or a lesser priority network based on a network type, identifying one or more network parameters associated with the network when the network type is a primary priority network, and determining whether to maintain the Internet connection and whether to change a network priority of the network based on the one or more network parameters.

One example may include forwarding data, via a router operating on a local data network, to a first client device, determining, via the router, a failure in a data connection used to receive the data from another data network, identifying, via the router, a second client device operating on the local data network, transmitting, via the router, a message over the local data network to the second client device, responsive to the message being received by the second client device, receiving, via the router, additional data over the local data network from the second client device, and forwarding, via the router, the additional data to the first client device.

One example may include a process that includes bonding connections between a client device and a server, transmitting a portion of data packets associated with an application used by the client device to be sent over a first connection of the connections and a remaining portion of the data packets to be concurrently sent over another connection of the plurality of connections, determining packets have dropped on the first connection of the plurality of connections, slowing a data rate of the first connection, monitoring data metrics of the connections, and removing one of the first connection and the another connection based on one or more monitored communication thresholds being satisfied by the data metrics.

One example may include monitoring a data transmission rate of a client device using one or more of a first channel and a second channel for data transmissions, determining the data transmission rate is lower than a target data transmission rate, determining an expected data rate increase for a combined data transmission rate of the first channel being bonded with the second channel based on a comparison of a data transmission rate of the first channel and a data transmission rate of the second channel, and bonding the first channel with the second channel when it is determined that the combined data transmission rate of the first channel and the second channel is higher than the data transmission rate of the first channel.

One example may include a process that includes establishing a connection between a client device and a server, monitoring communication over the connection to identify whether there is a communication delay based on one or more communication thresholds, establishing another connection between the client device and the server when a communication delay is detected based on the one or more communication thresholds, bonding the connection and the another connection permitting data packets associated with an application used by the client device to be split between the connection and the another connection, and forwarding a portion of the data packets associated with the application to the client device over the connection and concurrently forwarding a remaining portion of the data packets associated with the application over the another connection.

One example may include communicating, via a mobile device, with a router of a Wi-Fi network and a base station of a cellular network, identifying, via the mobile device, another mobile device operating on the Wi-Fi network, transmitting, via the mobile device, a request for data to the another mobile device, and the request is transmitted to the router, and responsive to the request being approved by the another mobile device, receiving, via the mobile device, data from the another mobile device.
