Patent number: 11025553Abstract: Conventional internet routing is handled using routing protocols such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). However, simple BGP does not account for latency, packet loss, or cost. To address this problem, smart routing systems that route traffic fast and in a cost-effective manner are implemented. In one approach, smart routing systems measure, compare, and analyze round-trip latencies and other metrics between a customer premises and one or more endpoints. Optimal inbound and outbound transit providers are selected for each endpoint based on these measurements. Other smart routing systems collect and analyze Real User Monitoring (RUM) data to predict latency performance of different content origins for serving data to a particular client based on the client's IP address and the content origins' IP addresses, which are ranked by performance.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Dynamic Network Services, Inc.Inventors: Alin Popescu, Philip Stanhope, Arun Mehra, Stephen Hulshof, Brian Premore, Douglas Madory, Scott Michael Brazina, Charlie Baker, Richard Gibson

Patent number: 9838279Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems include collecting routing data from a plurality of network routers, and correlating the routing data across routers and across time to obtain network data. The network data can be streamed to a user in real-time and the user can interactively query the data. In one embodiment, interactive routing analyzes, drill-down, and forensics can be performed using a repository of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) update traffic. Alarms can be set to detect selected routing problems. In setting the alarms, the message data for each router can be processed in timestamp order. Current message data from each router can be compared with previous message data to determine a condition status. An alarm can be provided when the condition status meets a temporal correlation criterion and/or a spatial correlation criterion.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Dynamic Network Services, Inc.Inventors: Andrew T. Ogielski, James H. Cowie, Alin Popescu
