Abstract
A security level of data generated by an application may be communicated from the application layer to the network layer and that security level used to determine of several available network connects for transmitting the data. A method of communicating may include associating the plurality of network connections with security levels to form associations, the associations indicating security levels of data that may be transmitted over each of the plurality of network connections; receiving, at the network layer, data for transmission; determining, at the network layer, a security level for the data; determining, at the network layer, at least one network connection of a plurality of network connections to transmit the data based, at least in part, on the security level; and transmitting the data packet over the at least one network connection.
