Patent number: 10284392Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to virtual private network (“VPN”) resiliency over multiple transports. According to one aspect, a customer premises equipment can select, from a transport preference database, a transport from a plurality of transports available to support a VPN tunnel. The transport selected is associated with a highest priority value of the plurality of transports in the transport preference database. The customer premises equipment can initiate setup of the VPN tunnel through the transport and can determine whether setup of the VPN tunnel was successful. If setup was not successful, the customer premises equipment can select a further transport from the plurality of transports available to support the VPN tunnel. Additional details are disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Lalitha Parameswaran, Zhen Qi Dong, Michael Satterlee, John Medamana

Patent number: 7948992Abstract: A network interworking facility (24) advantageously interworks Ethernet and ATM networks (22, 26) having different protocols to permit the data from in one network to pass to the other and vice versa without the need for the source in to account for the protocol of the destination. Upon receipt of an information frame from the source, the interworking facility forms a second frame of a format compatible with the destination network and including the information payload from the first frame. The interworking facility also maps the destination address incorporated in the origin frame to a corresponding destination address of a format compatible with the destination network to facilitate forwarding of the second frame to the destination.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2008Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, LPInventors: Stephen Holmgren, David Kinsky, John Medamana, Mateusz Szela

Publication number: 20070297420Abstract: Interworking of first and second networks (12, 14) is accomplished by an interworking facility (30) that serves to map the destination address in first frames received from the first network into second destinations addresses compatible with the second network. To conserve such mapping the assignments, the first network encapsulates information frames (32) received from one or more sites associated with a first customer into jumbo frames (34) that have a generic address associated with that customer. At the interworking facility, the individual frames are stripped from the jumbo frame and routed to corresponding destinations in the second network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: Stephen Holmgren, David Kinsky, John Medamana, Mateusz Szela

Publication number: 20070253415Abstract: A new type of data transport service which uses a frame relay layer 2 data link connection identifier (DLCI) to select among various service types, feature sets, and/or closed user groups (CUGs). A layer 3 address may be extracted from a layer 2 frame, and the layer 3 address information may be used to route a data packet over a packet-switched network according to the service classes, feature sets, and/or CUGs selected. At the destination, the layer 3 data packet may again be enclosed in a layer 2 frame with a DLCI indicating the service classes, features sets, and/or CUGs. Because the use of conventional permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) is not required in aspects of the invention, new methods of measuring and managing network traffic are presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2007Publication date: November 1, 2007Inventors: Christopher Chase, Stephen Holmgren, John Medamana, Vikram Saksena

Publication number: 20060034328Abstract: The invention provides methods and systems for providing priority processing to critical data as the data is transmitted across a network. A plurality of Internet protocol (IP) packets, each of which contains data and priority information, are received at a first router. The data contained in the IP packets is then encapsulated into frame relay frames containing the priority information. The frame relay frames are transmitted from the first router to a frame relay network in a manner determined by the priority information included in the frame relay frames. The frame relay flames are then transmitted across a frame relay network to a second router in a manner determined by the priority information included in the frame relay frames.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2005Publication date: February 16, 2006Inventors: Hrair Aldermeshian, Arvind Chakravarti, Richard Hellstern, Raymond Kimber, Ali Kujoory, Yonatan Levy, John Medamana, John Sikora
