Abstract
The present invention reduces the burden of the network having heavier load, maintains the load balance among different networks, and improves the overall resource utilization efficiency and transmission qualities of the networks, by providing a network forwarding apparatus for selectively distributing the IP packets to be forwarded to the network having less traffic for transmission by monitoring in real-time the traffic in the different networks.
