Abstract
An apparatus and method for configuring a gateway device for a modem over packet network session is disclosed. The method for configuring the first gateway device generally comprises: negotiating with a first client device to establish a first link; receiving, from a second gateway device, data indicative of a second link establish between the second gateway device and a second client device; and configuring the first gateway device to transmit data received from the first client device to the second gateway device using a reliable transport and to receive data from the second gateway device using an unreliable transport if the first link is established with error correction and the second link is established without error correction. In some embodiments the error correction provides flow control between the first gateway device and the first client device. The error correction may be based on MNP or V.42 error correction protocol.
