  • Patent number: 11729110
    Abstract: Implementing network constraint exceptions on a per device basis is disclosed. A network manager determines that a subscriber device associated with a subscriber network is to be granted an exception to a network constraint of the subscriber network. An aggregation device that is coupled to a set of subscriber networks including the subscriber network is sent aggregation device instructions to grant the exception to packets associated with the subscriber device that flow through the aggregation device. A network gateway device that serves as a network gateway for the subscriber network is sent gateway device instructions to associate packets associated with the subscriber device with information for identifying the packets as being associated with the subscriber device.

  • Patent number: 11700228
    Abstract: A VPN tunnel interface is instantiated within a router based on a tunnel network namespace. One or more virtual peers corresponding to the VPN tunnel interface and one or more virtual ethernet interfaces corresponding to the one or more virtual peers are instantiated. The tunnel network namespace is configured to route, based on a source address, network traffic from a specified client device to a specified virtual peer of the one or more virtual peers via the VPN tunnel interface. A connection is established between a client device and a VPN process of the router and a traffic flow is transported to and from the client device through a VPN tunnel via the VPN tunnel interface, the one or more virtual peers, and the one or more virtual ethernet interfaces.
