VIRTUAL GATEWAY FOR MULTIPLE NETWORK CONNECTION ROUTES
Embodiments generally relate to a virtual gateway for multiple network connection routes. In some embodiments, a method includes identifying at least one server for sourcing data. The method further includes establishing a first network connection to a first network associated with the at least one server. The method further includes fetching data from the at least one server via the first network based on a first network protocol. The method further includes establishing a second network connection to a second network associated with the at least one server. The method further includes switching from the first network to the second network based on one or more selection policies. The method further includes fetching data from the at least one server via the second network based on a second network protocol.
