Abstract
This invention provides a system, method and apparatus for managing congestion on heterogeneous network communication links, the first communication link and second communication link being heterogeneous with respect to each other. The system, method and apparatus including a routing decision module, the routing decision module evaluating a queue of information packets scheduled for transmission across the first communication link to determine whether to generate a command signal to route a portion of information packets over the second communication link. The system, method and apparatus may further include a communication link threshold module, the communication link threshold module storing threshold limit values corresponding to a first communication link technology of the first communication link.
