Publication number: 20220368771Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes sending a first data unit, received from a source device, to a destination device via a first data unit path. The first data unit path includes (1) a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine that are included in a first network, and (2) a third virtual machine that is included in a second network. Furthermore, the first data unit path includes the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine, and the third virtual machine in a first order. The method includes sending a second data unit, received from the source device, to the destination device via a second data unit path from the source device to the destination device. The second data unit path includes each of the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine, and the third virtual machine in a second order different from the first order.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: NetAbstraction, Inc.Inventor: Barbara M.

Publication number: 20220078164Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate managing communications between an origin and a destination using end-user and/or administrator configurable virtual private network(s) (VPN(s)). A first VPN that defines a first data path between an origin and a destination can be defined at a first time. A second VPN that defines a second, different data path between the origin and the destination can defined at a second time. Each packet sent across the first VPN and each packet sent across the second VPN can follow the same data path for that VPN, such each packet can be sent across the first VPN or the second VPN in the order it was received, and the transition between the first VPN and the second VPN can be “seamless,” and communications between the origin and the destination are not disrupted between the first time period and the second time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Applicant: NetAbstraction, Inc.Inventor: Ira A.
