  • Methods and system for providing network services using at least one processor interfacing a base network
    Patent number: 7181766
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for providing network services using at least one processor, such as a network operations center that interfaces a base network. The network operations center may receive information identifying a user authorized to administer a first processor, which may be separate from the network operations center, and a base address that is routable in the base network. The network operations center may provide through the base network code and information for self-configuring the first processor as a gateway that interfaces the base network at the base address. The first processor may execute the provided code to self-configure itself as the gateway based on the provided information.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 20, 2007
    Assignee: Corente, Inc.
    Inventors: Samuel Bendinelli, Michael Herrick, John Keane, Christopher Macey, Mark Tuomenoksa, Jerold Francus, Jonathan Harwood, Brion Shimamoto, Joseph Ferraro
  • Method and system for managing and configuring virtual private networks
    Patent number: 7181542
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enabling a network between a first and a second processor using at least one additional processor separate from the first and second processors. In one embodiment, the at least one additional processor receives information indicating a consent on behalf of the first processor to enabling a tunnel between the first processor and the second processor and receives information indicating a consent on behalf of the second processor to enabling a tunnel between the second processor and the first processor. The at least one additional processor determines a first virtual address for the first processor and a second virtual address for the second processor such that the first and second virtual addresses uniquely identify the first and second processors, respectively, and are routable through the network.
