Abstract
A communication apparatus for remote communication may include a first local module configured to intercept a first stream. The first stream may utilize a first transmission protocol and may be destined to a remote destination over a network. The first local module may be configured to make a determination whether to direct the first stream over a first connection to a first destination utilizing the first transmission protocol or to direct the first stream over a second connection to a second destination utilizing a second transmission protocol. The determination may be based on one or more of the following: a configuration or a network condition. The first local module may be configured to direct the first stream to the first destination or the second destination based on the determination. The second transmission protocol is different from the first transmission protocol. A machine-readable medium and a method are also disclosed.
