Publication number: 20180019945Abstract: Configuration of tunnel, firewall and/or other positional based functionality for routers operating within a multi-router network is contemplated. The functionality configured for one or more of the routers may be implemented automatically without manual input or identification, such as to facilitate an off-the-shelf implementation process where positioning and attendant functionality is routinely implemented according to a predefined set of roles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2017Publication date: January 18, 2018Inventors: Christopher J. Donley, Michael Kloberdans, Christopher Grundemann

Publication number: 20170374021Abstract: Configuration of fireball functionality for rooters operating within a multi-router network is contemplated. The firewall functionality configured for one or more of the routers may be based router positioning within the multi-router network. The firewall functionality may be automatically selected according to the router positioning in order to facilitate dynamic and/or adaptive router configuring.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Christopher J. Donley, Christopher Grundemann
-
Patent number: 9806986Abstract: An overlay network is contemplated. The overlay network may be characterized as supporting, or at least virtually supporting, separate networks over a common infrastructure. The common infrastructure may be comprised of a plurality of routers or other devices configured to facilitate directing messages according to various addressing requirements. The use of the separate networks may be dictated according to the particular addressing requirements of each message desired for transport.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Grundemann, Christopher J. Donley, Vikas Sarawat, Karthik Sundaresan

Patent number: 9491138Abstract: Translation of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses is contemplated, such as for use in allowing IPv4 devices to connect with IPv6 device without requiring the IPv4 devices to specify the IPv6 address of the connected-to IPv6 device. The IPv6 addresses may be translated to IPv4 addresses suitable for use with the IPv4 devices in a manner that sufficiently compresses the IPv6 for use with the more bit limited nomenclature of an IPv4 address.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Donley, Christopher Grundemann, Vikas Sarawat
