Abstract
A wireless terminal comprises a wireless network interface, an address determination module, and an application module. The wireless network interface receives N address assignment messages over a wireless link, where N is an integer greater than zero. The address determination module extracts a plurality of address components from the N address assignment messages and associates the plurality of address components with a plurality of packet data networks. The application module selectively exchanges packets with one of the plurality of packet data networks based on an associated one of the plurality of address components.
