  • Patent number: 11743110
    Abstract: Devices, methods, systems, and computer-readable media for using network connection health data, from multiple sources, to determine whether to switch a network connection on redundant IP networks using VoIP protocol are described herein. One non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions for connecting an end device used by a first party to communicate with a second party through a VoIP network connection via a VoIP network device, connecting a first network device operating a first network to the VoIP device, connecting a second network device operating a second network to the VoIP device, if there are indications of a fault on at least two OSI layers, then switching from communicating VoIP connection related packets of data on the first network to communicating the VoIP connection related packets of data on the second network.

  • Publication number: 20230049713
    Abstract: Devices, methods, systems, and computer-readable media for using connectionless loops for monitoring data link health using connectionless loops over redundant Internet Protocol (IP) networks are described herein. One system includes an IP network device connected to a device used by a party to communicate with another party through an IP network, a first network device operating a first network and referring to the IP network device with a first identifier, a second network device operating a second network and referring to the IP network device with a second identifier, an intermediary device allowing communication between the first and second networks, and instructions to create a connectionless packet, send the packet through the first network addressed to the second identifier, such that the packet is routed from the first network to the intermediary device and into the second network based on the second identifier, and receive the packet.
