Abstract
Network communication is provided by communicatively coupling a first device with a second device using first and second communication mediums having different bandwidths associated therewith. A communication session is established between the first and the second device so as to transfer data between the first and second devices using the first and second communication mediums. Data is transferred over the first communication medium using a first data rate and data is transferred over the second communication medium using a second data rate that is different than the first data rate. The data is processed at one or both of the first and second devices to account for the difference between the first and second data rates.
