Publication number: 20240073147Abstract: Techniques are described for routing traffic through an interconnect cloud gateway based on cloud traffic routing indicators. The interconnect cloud gateway can advertise the cloud traffic routing indicators, which can include cloud indicators and transport gateway indicators. The cloud indicators can include cloud tags utilized to route cloud traffic. The transport gateway indicators can include transport gateway flags utilized to identify private networks utilized to route the cloud traffic. The cloud traffic can routed during normal private network operation through private networks, which can be dynamically replaced by public networks due to occurrences of failures preventing the data traffic from being routed through the private networks and to cloud networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Ramakumara Kariyappa, Satish Mahadevan, Biju Mathews Mammen, Balaji Sundararajan, Giorgio Valentini, Venkatraman Venkatapathy

Patent number: 8750304Abstract: In one embodiment a method includes detecting, at a first Wide Area Network (WAN) device deployed at an edge of a WAN, a packet passing through the first WAN device and departing a node with which the first WAN device is associated for another node connected to the WAN, identifying, by the first WAN device, a network destination address to which the packet is addressed, obtaining from memory accessible to the first WAN device an identifier of another WAN device associated with the network destination address, and marking the packet with the identifier to generate a marked packet. The marked packet is then received by a WAN device, which detects the identifier, and passes the marked packet to the identified WAN device. In an embodiment, the WAN device associated with the network destination address is a WAN device that first detects a synchronization-acknowledgement (SYN-ACK) packet.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Arivu Mani Ramasamy, Zachary A.
