Abstract

Examples of selectively transmitting redundant data over a wireless network are provided. One example includes initializing a first wireless virtual interface and a second wireless virtual interface, each wireless virtual interface communicating with a network using resources of the wireless hardware device and transmitting data from the first wireless virtual interface to the network via a first channel to a first access point of the network. The example further includes transmitting a selected amount of redundant data from the second wireless virtual interface to the network via a second channel to a second access point of the network, the selected amount being based on channel metrics of one or more of the first channel and the second channel.
