  • Patent number: 11502895
    Abstract: The disclosed implementations relate to a network monitoring and failover system and related devices and methods. Various implementations include a network having a local area network, a firewall, a server, and an SD-WAN monitoring system. The SD-WAN monitoring system is constructed and arranged to direct network traffic over various network connections according to a set a rules. The system is constructed and arranged to monitor and detect when a primary connection is not performing optimally and automatically route sensitive traffic to a secondary connect to minimize or eliminate network interruptions. The system is further constructed and arranged to automatically transition back to the primary connection when the network issues are resolved.

  • Patent number: 11481370
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a system for storing and managing hierarchical relationships in a data set. The data set has a plurality of nodes, including root nodes having trees and subtrees, the tree and subtrees including parent, sibling, and child nodes. Each node in the data set has bound values and the bound values of the root nodes are fixed and of equal width. The system further includes processor on a server constructed and arranged to execute a series of steps for optimizing the data set. The processor constructed and arranged to recalculate bound values for updated nodes, sibling nodes and associated subtrees when nodes are updated.
