Abstract: A method for wireless communication network control includes (1) receiving, at an information technology (IT) device, a first steering policy from an application manager remote from the IT device, the first steering policy specifying a first allocation of data among a plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device; and (2) sending uplink or downlink data from a first application client on the IT device to a mobility manager remote from the IT device over at least one of the plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device, according to the first allocation of data.

Abstract: A method for estimating a bandwidth characteristic of a communication link between a transmitter node and receiver node includes (1) receiving, from the receiver node, a plurality of synchronization data packets sent by the transmitter node via the communication link, (2) estimating an offset time representing a time required for each synchronization data packet to traverse the communication link, (3) receiving, from the receiver node, a plurality of test data packets sent by the transmitter node via the communication link, and (4) estimating the bandwidth characteristic of the communication link at least partially based on the offset time and characteristics of one or more of the plurality of synchronization data packets and one or more of the plurality of test data packets.
