Ø MLG will look first what networks are available
Ø It will act with a rules-based action: eg. if
proper bandwidth is available on the terrestrial
cable network it will use that to make the
connection
Ø When satellite is the preferred option the
operator can make a booking via the booking
system
Ø No ip-(re)configuration needed !!
