System and method for integrated service access
A method of operating a service provider system comprising receiving first traffic, determining a first traffic type of the first traffic from a plurality of traffic types, selecting the first communication link from a plurality of communication links based on the first traffic type, and transmitting the first traffic on a first communication link to a communication system.
1. A method for splitting a communications session over a network, the method comprising:
designating a first unidirectional communications link as one of a wireless link or a wireline link to communicate a first data packet from a first network device to a second network device, the first data packet being associated with the communications session;
based on a determination that the first unidirectional communications link is designated as a wireless link, designating a second unidirectional communications link as a wireline link to communicate a second data packet from the second network device to the first network device, the second data packet being associated with the communications session; and
based on a determination that the first unidirectional communications link is designated as a wireline link, designating the second unidirectional communications link as a wireless link to communicate the second data packet from the second network device to the first network device,
wherein the first data packet does not traverse the second communications link and the second data packet does not traverse the first communications link, and wherein the first communications link is of a different type of communication link than that of the second communications link.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein all data packets communicated from the first network device to the second network device during the communications session are designated to be communicated on the first communications link.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communications session is associated with authenticating a user of the first network device to allow the user to access data stored on the second network device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communications session is associated with authenticating a user of the first network device to allow the user to access data stored on the second network device, and wherein the first data packet is an identifier associated with the user and the second data packet is a confirmation of such identifier.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a type of communication link for the first communication link is selected based on a traffic type.
