Abstract:
Systems and methods are described that enable high-data-rate network communications by use of a data transmission system, which can at least partially redirect data transmitted between two computing devices on a public network to a private network. The data transmission system may include a variety of endpoints at different locations, such that source and destination computing devices may pass information into and out of the data transmission system via the endpoints. To ensure that endpoints are able to communication with each computing device via a path of sufficient network quality, the data transmission system may dynamically generate additional endpoints within points of presence of the system. Where no endpoints or points of presence have a connection of sufficient quality to a source and destination computing device, the data transmission system may decline to transmit data, and instruct the source or destination computing devices to utilize traditional communication channels.
