Abstract
In one embodiment, a communications distribution process maintains at least two pseudowires through a network such that the pseudowires share a burden of delivering data through the network. The communications distribution process receives feedback data concerning operation of each pseudowire. The communications distribution process utilizes the feedback data to distribute communications to the common destination across each of the pseudowires. Additionally, the communications distribution process utilizes the feedback to establish at least one new pseudowire, in addition to the first pseudowire and the second pseudowire, for transmission of data traffic.
