The wide area network includes at least one backbone network, and the overlay includes a processor coupled to the backbone network.

The base stations are connected to the backbone network.

The sub-network comprises a selection of devices coupled to a backbone network (10).

A plurality of modules are coupled to the controller via the backbone network and receive data and power via the backbone network.

A sub-network of a backbone network (10) is automatically set up prior to transmission of messages.

Thus, the L2TPv3 signaling protocol is used in IP backbone network, which supports VPLS service, so that the VPLS service is implemented in an IP backbone network, deviating from the MPLS network.

So it can implement VPN of the hybrid-site multi-domain backbone network.

The CMFTS is connected to an IP backbone network via a switch.

One region may include a fixed station (8) hardwired into a backbone network (9).

A wireless network access point is described which provides the resources of a backbone network to wireless clients.

European networks could be linked directly, rather than through the US internet backbones.

High-bandwidth Internet traffic over an Internet backbone is channelized onto input/output ports (130) of a routing device.

This is becoming an attractive solution, as web hosting close to the Internet backbone has become very cheap.

For example, the root cause may be determined to be a configuration problem of the client, a problem with the client's networking equipment, an ISP problem, an Internet backbone problem; a problem of the online service, and the like.

The IP digital data is transmitted from a transmission site (100) to a remote Internet point of presence (55) through a dedicated transmission channel substantially separate from Internet backbone.

The method also includes broadcasting the core network type of each core network of the plurality of core networks along with a network identity of each core network.

The method includes identifying a core network type of each core network of the plurality of core networks.

To unify virtualizations in a core network and a wireless access network, a virtual wireless network is mapped to a virtual network in the core network.

Using the method of this invention, WLAN and mobile core network arc simply converged together, and the cellular access network and the mobile core network are offloaded.

The selected core network node or said other network node now acts as serving core network node for the mobile station (8).
