  • Patent number: 10587520
    Abstract: Computer connectivity is dependent on network availability. When networks are offline, relocating systems and data to an available network is an inefficient, time consuming, and error prone process. A system and method is disclosed for instant IP sharing and relocation between geographical locations by combining BGP announcement in one or multiple locations and applying stateless NAT to the IP traffic. Thereby, IP traffic is redirected to the desired location and delivered to the final device using the shared/relocated IP address. This system and method allows a single IP address to actively respond to network requests from numerous locations which can be spread around the globe.

  • Patent number: 9992161
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a plurality of geographically remote distribution points may be established, each distribution point being associated with a traffic cleaning or scrubbing center. Incoming traffic at each distribution point may be received and not legitimate network traffic may be detected, wherein the not legitimate network traffic may include DDOS traffic. When not legitimate network traffic is detected, the system may filter the incoming traffic via the clearing or scrubbing center at each distribution point, or across a plurality of distribution points simultaneously (thereby diluting the attack across multiple network nodes and scrubbing centers). The filtered traffic may then be transmitted from each distribution point to a customer network via an active association, wherein responses from the customer network utilize customer infrastructure to deliver the response with or without involving the clearing or scrubbing centers.
