ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method of relaying traffic from a source application (46a-46c) to a targeted destination in a communications network (14, 16). The method comprises the steps of providing a first and at least one second network adapter, each providing access to a network (14, 16) having a plurality of destinations. Furthermore, a first routing table, which defines a first default destination associated with the first network adapter, is provided. Traffic from the source (46a-46c) to the targeted destination is relayed using one of the network adapters (20, 22). According to one aspect of the invention, at least one second routing table defining at least one second default destination is provided. Each second network adapter is individually associated with one second default destination. The step of relaying includes the step of selecting one of the first and second routing tables (60, 62).
