ABSTRACT:
A framework capable of providing transparent handling of network traffic in close proximity networks such as home networks is provided. A single virtual network interface is exposed to users/applications on connected devices. A virtual network interface manager determines available physical network interfaces and switches to a different physical network interface or a different configuration on the same physical network interface in a transparent manner to the communicating application(s). This enables the framework to optimize network communications for the communicating applications, devices, and users based on predefined criteria, application requirements such as different data throughput, or changing environment conditions such as interference. Network communication operations are also simplified for users since they are no longer required to have the necessary knowledge for configuring physical network interfaces manually in response to changing conditions.
