  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROL CHANNEL TUNNELING
    Publication number: 20240039759
    Abstract: A method is described. The method includes receiving, by a network device via a persistent control channel established between the network device and a server device connected to a first network, a first message that includes: (1) information indicating a tunneling protocol, and (2) information associated with a first tunneling payload. The persistent control channel is for communicating: (1) messages including control information, and (2) messages including tunneling payloads. The method also includes transmitting, by the network device to an endpoint device connected to a second network, a second message including the information associated with the first tunneling payload.
