User Information Method And Apparatus For Directing Link-Layer Communication

View page
US Patent:
20220182287, Jun 9, 2022
Filed:
Feb 23, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/652128
Inventors:
- Burlington MA, US
Abilash Menon - Boxborough MA, US
Michael Baj - Bedford MA, US
Prashant Kumar - Andover MA, US
International Classification:
H04L 41/0893
H04L 9/40
H04L 45/00
Abstract:
A network device has an input configured to receive a message relating to a given user attempting to forward one or more packets across a computer network. The message has given user information relating to the given user. In addition, the routing device also has a selector, operatively coupled with the input, configured to select (after receiving the message) a given group routing policy from a plurality of group routing policies. Preferably, the selector is configured to select the given group routing policy as a function of the given user information. The routing device also has an output operatively coupled with the selector. The output is configured to cause routing of user communication across the network using link-layer routes specified by the given group routing policy.

Opportunistic Mesh For Software-Defined Wide Area Network (Sd-Wan)

View page
US Patent:
20230116163, Apr 13, 2023
Filed:
Sep 29, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/449311
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Abilash Menon - Boxborough MA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/741
H04L 12/721
H04L 29/12
H04L 12/24
Abstract:
Techniques are described for forming on-demand mesh connections between spoke routers of a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) arranged in a hub-and-spoke topology. A first spoke router modifies the first packet to include metadata specifying first reachability information and first Internet Protocol (IP) address information for the first spoke router. The first spoke router forwards the first packet to a hub router for forwarding to a second spoke router. The first spoke router receives a second packet from the hub router that includes metadata specifying second reachability information and second IP address information for the second spoke router. In response to determining that the first reachability information is compatible with the second reachability information, the first spoke router initiates a peering connection with the second spoke router along a path which bypasses the hub router for forwarding subsequent packets of the forward packet flow.

US Patent:
20210399975, Dec 23, 2021
Filed:
Jun 21, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/304420
Inventors:
- Burlington MA, US
Abilash Menon - Boxborough MA, US
Patrick Timmons - Newton MA, US
Michael Baj - Bedford MA, US
Robert Penfield - Concord MA, US
Patrick J. MeLampy - Dunstable MA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/761
H04L 12/721
H04L 12/723
H04L 29/06
H04L 12/751
Abstract:
A routing system for distributing multicast routing information for a multicast service includes a plurality of routers including a multicast source router and a plurality of multicast receiver routers, the plurality of routers providing a multicast service, wherein the routers are configured to exchange multicast information associated with the multicast service including identification of multicast sources and the multicast receivers.

Session Monitoring Using Metrics Of Session Establishment

US Patent:
20210336875, Oct 28, 2021
Filed:
Apr 23, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/239277
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Patrick J. MeLampy - Dunstable MA, US
Ryan Koss - Merrimack NH, US
Kaushik Adesh Agrawal - Chelmsford MA, US
Abilash Menon - Boxborough MA, US
Michael John Adams - Roslindale MA, US
Sarah V. Jaffer - Billerica MA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/725
H04L 12/721
H04L 12/707
H04L 29/06
Abstract:
A first router generates session establishment metrics for use in network path selection. For example, a plurality of routers connect a client device to a network service instance hosted by a server. A first router is connected to the network service instance via first and second paths. The first router receives session performance requirements for a session between the client device and the network service instance. The first router forwards, along the first path, network traffic for the session by modifying a first packet of the session to include a session identifier for the session. The first router determines that session establishment metrics for the session do not satisfy the session performance requirements. In response, the first router forwards, along the second path, the network traffic for the session by modifying a second packet of the session to include the session identifier for the session.

US Patent:
20210328889, Oct 21, 2021
Filed:
Jul 1, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/365007
Inventors:
- Burlington MA, US
Abilash Menon - Boxborough MA, US
Anna Yungelson - Lexington MA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/26
Abstract:
One function of a communications network, or of nodes in such a network, is to gather data that is useful in assessing network performance, and quantifying metrics of node and/or network performance. Various embodiments disclosed herein improve the ability of nodes and networks to gather such data, and quantify metrics of node and/or network performance by selectively marking existing network traffic, and in preferred embodiments without having to dilute network traffic by generating and transmitting dummy data packets.

Routing Using Segment-Based Metrics

View page
US Patent:
20210250273, Aug 12, 2021
Filed:
Apr 30, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/245898
Inventors:
- Burlington MA, US
Abilash Menon - Boxborough MA, US
Patrick Timmons - Newton MA, US
Michael Baj - Bedford MA, US
Robert Penfield - Concord MA, US
Patrick J. MeLampy - Dunstable MA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/751
H04L 12/715
Abstract:
A router advertises an aggregated service or route that can be evaluated by other routers as a unitary segment rather than as a group of individual links/paths associated with the aggregated service or route. The aggregated service or route can be based on service and topology state information received from one or more other routers and can be advertised with the router as the nexthop for the aggregated service or route. The router can advertise an aggregated metric for the aggregated service or route for use in such evaluation. An aggregated route can be associated with different aggregated metrics for different services.
