  • Patent number: 12750337
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method for deconflicting locally administered medium access control addresses (LAMAs). An apparatus includes a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor receives a request for a client device to use a locally administered medium access control address (LAMA) and determines that the LAMA is in use or reserved for future use by an access point that is out of range of the client device. Prior to the client device roaming to the access point, the processor transmits to the client device a message denying connectivity to the client device using the LAMA. The message indicates a LAMA that the client device is prohibited from selecting.

  • Patent number: 12737490
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the exchange of information between an enterprise client and a partner within an enterprise environment are provided. In this exchange of information, the client selects, via a user interface, a subset of client data, as well as one or more screen sets, to share with a partner. Once the partner has accepted, the system then sends an account creation request or account login request to the partner. Once the partner is authenticated in the system with an account, the system creates an information exchange session for the partner, and provides, on a display of the partner's device, a user interface that shows the subset of the client data and the screen sets. Access to the rest of the customer's enterprise environment is restricted.

  • Patent number: 12739226
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are described that gather information from subnets of a virtual private cloud, compare the information of the subnets to criteria of components of a service, and identify selected subnets that comport with the criteria. The subnets may be associated with different availability zones. The selection of any subnet may affect the subnets available for the next selection. The process may dynamically adjust for previous subnet selections and may be available as a service. Based on a call to the service with criteria of the components, the service may request information regarding the subnets and return an identified list of subnets for the components. The process may accommodate services during development stages and during deployment stages and/or account for primary and secondary subnet assignments. By dynamically adjusting the available subnets, delays in subnet selection and subsequent deployment may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 12652265
    Abstract: Two electronic devices attempt to communicate and exchange Internet Protocol (IP) packets over a cellular communication network, and at least one of the two devices is behind a symmetric Network Address Translation (NAT) service. At least one of the two devices executes a Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) protocol, which provides to that device a pair of external IP address and port of that device; which that device then informs to a Message Broker Unit that is accessible to both devices via the public Internet. The Message Broker Unit provides the external IP address and port of that device, to the other device; which then connects to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server and sends to the first device one or more User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets that penetrate or puncture the NAT service in an application-agnostic manner.
