Abstract
A telecommunications network termination device has the capability to connect to a network access point using a primary fixed line address by a first route and also, using a second network address, by a backup routing to a shared wireless access point. Connection status messages are transmitted over the primary routing. If these are not detected by the network, it causes traffic to the user device to be diverted over the backup routing to the second network address. It also transmits instructions to the user device to route outgoing traffic by the same secondary route. The secondary route is identified from network topology data stored by the network control server.
