Abstract
A method and system virtualizes bandwidth. The system may include multiple communication interfaces to communicate across a hybrid network containing multiple networks of different types, technologies, protocols, topologies, or other network characteristics. The system may aggregate the bandwidth of the multiple communication interfaces into an aggregated virtualized bandwidth. When a bandwidth request is received, the system may determine a bandwidth allocation across the aggregated virtualized bandwidth. The system may also determine a communication resource allocation for the bandwidth allocation, which may assign any number of the communication interfaces. The system may then communicate application data across the allocated bandwidth.
