Patent number: 11012153Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for monitoring optical communications between a managed location and a remote location. In particular, an optical signal is transmitted over an optical fiber and passed-through a test device. A portion of the optical signal is filtered from the original optical signal and passed to a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may instruct one or more switches in the test device to loop the optical signal back toward the managed location. Subsequently, testing and monitoring may be performed at the managed location. The device may provide a test output or may transmit the information to the managed location.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Jeffrey K. Storey, John F. Waters, Andrew Dugan, Salvador Paredes, Gary Ratterree

Patent number: 10965495Abstract: A system and method of providing virtualized connectivity in a cloud services environment. A service provider network defines at least a first virtual private network and a second virtual private network for a respective first customer network and a second customer network. The service provider network includes at least one physical connection with a cloud services provider network where the at least one physical connection includes a first private virtual connection between the first virtual private network and the cloud services provider and a second private virtual connection between the second virtual private network and the cloud services provider.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Salvador Paredes, Nasser Nabih El-Aawar, Gary Randall Ratterree, Todd James Williamson, Ted Wagner

Patent number: 10785257Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for data center redundancy in relation to a computer network. In particular, the present disclosure provides for one or more available redundant data centers, or bunkers, associated with a computer network. In one embodiment, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb traffic intended for an application operating on a data center when the traffic threatens to overwhelm the application. For example, during a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb some of the traffic from the DDOS attack to prevent the application that is the target of the attack from being overwhelmed.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Andrew Dugan, John F. Waters, Jr., Salvador Paredes, Nasser Nabih El-Aawar

Publication number: 20160192577Abstract: A towed agricultural tool is provided, wherein the tool comprises a trailer that can be attached to a tractor or similar vehicle, which has a structure capable of supporting a number of agricultural tools, such as a rotovator or similar tool, such that with the limited power of the tractor vehicle it is possible to work with several tools simultaneously since the trailer includes motors to power the operation of the tools. Independent agricultural tools are fitted on a secondary structure capable of folding in on itself to reduce its size to comply with traffic regulations for trailers during transport and where each agricultural tool is powered by a motor such that they can be operated independently of the rest. Hydraulic arms can raise articulated sections of the secondary structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2014Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventor: Salvador PAREDES LORENTE
