  • Patent number: 12177754
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that receives data from a machine-type communication (MTC) device located at a premises, determines an identifier for the MTC device; compares the identifier with a list of identifiers; and, responsive to determining that the MTC device is a listed device, transmits the data to a first network element remote from the premises. The device and the first network element do not receive data from devices at the premises generating human traffic communications (HTC). The first network element transmits the data to a second network element for aggregation and subsequent transmission to a cloud data facility comprising cloud storage. A data path from the device to the first network element, from the first network element to the second network element, and from the second network element to the cloud data facility forms a secure data path. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12160362
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for extending network connectivity software utilities, such as traceroute, to provide complete visibility into a network topology between a source device and a destination device, even when an intermediate network device may be actively utilizing multiple network links when forwarding packets toward the destination. In one example, a network device coupled to a plurality of paths and positioned between a source network device and destination network device may receive a traceroute packet. The network device may also, for each of the plurality of paths, modify a payload of the traceroute packet to include a respective identifier for a corresponding path of the plurality of paths to construct a respective modified traceroute packet for the corresponding path. The network device may also forward the respective modified traceroute packets on the corresponding paths.

  • Patent number: 11570100
    Abstract: The present specification discloses a data processing method, apparatus, medium and device. The method includes: receiving a QUIC data packet that is sent by a first device and that includes a CID; parsing the CID and determining a routing address based on a parsing result; and routing the received QUIC data packet to a second device based on the routing address, so the second device processes the QUIC data packet. When a data packet sent by a transmitting end device is received, a routing address of data transmission is determined by processing the received data packet, to quickly establish a data transmission channel between the transmitting end device and a receiving end device. As such, stored context information is not required, and connection errors caused by exceptions such as restarting and scaling in/out on a load balancer will not occur, thereby effectively improving processing efficiency of data transmission by using the QUIC protocol.
