1. A traffic processing apparatus for a multichannel communication system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device configured to store computer-executable instructions therein, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
(a) receive a request for data;
(b) identify first and second data components of the requested data; and
(c) convey (i) the first data component over a first traffic channel of the multichannel communication system according to the first communication protocol, (ii) the second data component over the second traffic channel of the multichannel communication system according to a second communication protocol different from the first protocol, and (iii) a duplicate of the second data portion over a third traffic channel of the multichannel communication system according to the first communication protocol.
