INTERNET TRAFFIC DISPATCHER ON SEVERAL NETWORK INTERFACES

Patented idea on April 25th, 2016

Inventor: Nizar Ben Neji

Multiple Internet Connections Everywhere

Today, we have more and more Wi-Fi, 3G/4G and other wireless and wired networks available to us all the time for free either at home, at work or at the university and wherever we go. But, we are not unfortunately able to benefit simultaneously from all these Internet accesses due mainly to technical reasons and due to the use of classical standards and techniques to connect to the Internet. So the idea of combining several wired, 3G or 4G connections into a single very fast connection comes to our mind and gives Connect++.

Flexible Use of Internet

Connect++ is a hardware solution much like a load-balancing router, a QoS packet classifier and an Internet trafic dispatcher. It allows the user to use simultaneously multiple sources of wired and wireless Internet connection. It is so flexible such that the user can assign its preferred applications and services to the fastest and the most stable Internet connections. Applications (Web Browser, Instant Messaging Tools, Network Games, ...), services (Streaming, Videoconferencing, P2P, ...) or special websites (Social Networks, Cloud Storage, ...) that heavily need Internet can be easily assigned to strong connections so that the generated traffic can be routed through the preferred or to the strongest Internet connection.

Multiple Users May Benefit from Aggregated Connections

Connect++ plays the role of a portable WiFi hotspot so that several authorized users may have access to Internet through it. Unlike classical hostspots, Connect++ can be linked to other WiFi hotspots and/or multiple telecom networks (3G, 4G and 5G) of different operators. It can also be installed in private places such as home or work and in public places such as restaurants, airports or campuses. Security is taken in consideration in our solution by setting up encryption and strong authentication method through a captive portal page.
