1. A method for sending seismic data during a seismic survey, comprising: providing a communications network having a first communication path and a second communication path to a seismic recorder, wherein the second communication path is different from the first communication path;sampling seismic data acquired during a land seismic survey;sending the seismic data to the seismic recorder using a communications protocol application via the first communication path;receiving an acknowledgement signal from the seismic recorder to indicate that the seismic recorder received the seismic data; andsending the seismic data again to the seismic recorder via the second communication path if the acknowledgement signal has not been received. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the communications protocol application is a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a command to send the seismic data to an IP address of the seismic recorder. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the land seismic survey comprises a plurality of seismic sources that exert energy on the earth, the seismic recorder, and the sensors configured to detect reflected seismic energy exerted by the seismic sources. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the seismic data is sent again to the seismic recorder via the second communication path without analyzing the communications network. 6. A method for sending seismic data during a seismic survey, comprising: providing a communications network having a first communication path and a second communication path to a seismic recorder, wherein the second communication path is different from the first communication path;sampling seismic data acquired during a marine seismic survey;sending the seismic data to the seismic recorder using a communications protocol application via the first communication path;receiving an acknowledgement signal from the seismic recorder to indicate that the seismic recorder received the seismic data; andsending the seismic data again to the seismic recorder via the second communication path if the acknowledgement signal has not been received. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the communications protocol application is a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). 8. The method of claim 6, further comprising receiving a command to send the seismic data to an IP address of the seismic recorder. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the marine seismic survey comprises a plurality of seismic sources that exert energy on the earth, the seismic recorder, and the sensors configured to detect reflected seismic energy exerted by the seismic sources. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the seismic data is sent again to the seismic recorder via the second communication path without analyzing the communications network.
