    Abstract: Example methods and network devices for tunnel-based routing calculation. One example method may comprise establishing a tunnel between a first tunnel interface and a second tunnel interface; establishing a first session for routing information exchange between a first tunnel endpoint and an underlay network device; establishing a second session for routing information exchange between the first tunnel interface and the second tunnel interface over the tunnel. In response to receiving first routing information over the first session, the underlay network device may be configured to be a next hop to reach the second tunnel endpoint by updating a routing table to include a first entry. Further, the underlay network device may be retained as the next hop by updating the routing table to include a second entry to override second routing information that advertises, over the second session, the second tunnel interface as the next hop.

  • Patent number: 11082330
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for routing in-bound communications to an infrastructure service. In an implementation, an infrastructure service receives a request from an end point for content associated with an origin. The service sends a connection request to the origin from an initial network address. After detecting a failure of the origin to respond to the connection request, the service sends multiple connection requests to the origin from different network addresses. Upon receiving one or more replies to the connection requests, the service identifies which reply was received first and a network address to which the reply was sent. The service proceeds to establish a connection with the origin using the identified network address and obtains the content from the origin over the connection. The infrastructure service may then send the content to the end point.

  • Patent number: 11057767
    Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a local subscriber node for handling attachment of a User Equipment (UE) to a central network. The local subscriber node comprises default subscription data which is common for all UEs which are associated with a local network. When a connection to a central subscriber node is accessible, the local subscriber node obtains authentication data associated with the default subscription data from the central subscriber node. When the UE requests attachment to the central network when the connection to the central subscriber node is inaccessible, the local subscriber node sends the obtained authentication data for the UE to a mobility management node.
