  • Publication number: 20190253274
    Abstract: Large networks, such as those operated by businesses, educational institutions, governmental bodies, and the like, can utilize an interconnection service provider network to share data and resources between and among multiple computing service provider networks. An interconnection service provider network provider (or the network operator) may monitor performance and other metrics associated with resources provisioned in a first computing service provider network. Upon a determination that it would be more advantageous to utilize the resources of a second computing service provider network, the interconnection service provider network (or the network operator) can migrate data and other resources from the first computing service provider network to the second computing service provider network.

  • Patent number: 8856357
    Abstract: A method for establishing routes to neighboring networks during an initialization sequence according to a prioritized order may include detecting a power-cycling event and accessing a plurality of identifiers stored in a memory device that persisted through the power-cycling event. Each of the plurality of identifiers may be associated with a network. The networks may include first networks that are coupled to network endpoints, and second networks that are capable of coupling to the one or more first networks. For each network, the method may further include accessing a priority field in the memory device that may be associated with the network. The respective priority field can be based on an order in which communications should be established with the network and application layer information. The method may also include attempting to establish communications with each of the plurality of networks in an order based on the priority fields.
