  • Patent number: 11792866
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods and apparatuses of a first device, that obtain contact point information of a second device associated with the first device, as a peer device in a private network, where the contact point information of the second device includes one or more peer uplink identifiers and each respective peer uplink identifier corresponds to a respective peer device uplink of the second device. The systems, methods and apparatuses establish a first private network data tunnel from a first uplink of the first device to the second device, using the contact point information of the second device, and a first uplink identifier associated with the first uplink, and establish a second private network data tunnel from a second uplink of the first device to the second device, using the contact point information of the second device, and a second uplink identifier associated with the second uplink.

  • Patent number: 10779339
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for wireless roaming are disclosed. An access point receives a communication request from a wireless device and determines a home broadcast domain associated with the wireless device. The access point determines that the home broadcast domain is different than the broadcast domain associated with the access point and proceeds to identify a second access point that is associated with the home broadcast domain of the wireless device. The access point establishes a tunnel between the access point and the second access point for routing traffic associated with the wireless device.

  • Patent number: 10374828
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods and apparatuses that involve a first device selecting a data tunnel for sending packets of a determined network traffic type to another device. For example, in some implementations, a method includes a first device receiving a first group of packets for forwarding to a second device. The method includes the first device retrieving packet-forwarding rules for forwarding the first group of packets, and selecting a first private network data tunnel from a plurality of private network data tunnels between the first device and the second device, for forwarding a first packet of the first group of packets, based on satisfaction of the retrieved packet-forwarding rules. A respective private network data tunnel is associated with a respective uplink of a plurality of uplinks of the first network device. The first private network data tunnel is associated with a first uplink of the first device.

  • Patent number: 10298672
    Abstract: Previous solutions to the problem of maintaining up-to-date network device addressing, fail to provide systems or processes that efficiently share and obtain addressing information of networking devices in a given network. By contrast, and to that end, various implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods and apparatuses that generate a registry request message, where the registry request message includes a first portion characterized by a first write privilege and a second portion characterized by a second write privilege different from the first write privilege. The systems, methods and apparatuses convey the registry request message to a shared contact point network entity, and obtain a response message addressed from the shared contact point network entity, where the response message includes peer addressing information corresponding to one or more peer network devices associated with the aforementioned systems, methods and apparatuses.
