ABSTRACT:
The utilization of an overflow link is envisioned within a communication network to increase bandwidth. In order to increase bandwidth when necessary, an alternate overflow network is utilized to transfer data between a local data center and an individual receiving location. In this process, a portion of the data packets are transmitted to a different receiving location with available bandwidth. The packets are then transmitted from this location to the original requesting location via a shared communications link between the two receiving locations, thus increasing the bandwidth between the local center and the individual receiving location until the additional demand is met.
