  • Application services based on dynamic split tunneling
    Patent number: 9455909
    Abstract: One embodiment provides selectively routing Domain Name System (DNS) request for sub-domains associated with a first network through a tunnel associated with the first network via the interface. DNS requests for sub-domains associated with a second network are selectively routed through a tunnel associated with the second network via the interface. Embodiments include replacing the destination address for DNS requests for sub-domains associated with the second network to match an address of a DNS server associated with the second network. Data representative of DNS requests for sub-domains associated with the second network is stored. Embodiments forward the DNS requests for sub-domains associated with the second network with the address of the DNS server associated with the second network.

  • Application services based on dynamic split tunneling
    Patent number: 9137211
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method of dynamically tunneling specific, or per application, services on demand without having to build complex split tunneling policies on Virtual Private Network (VPN) terminators. In particular embodiments, the method can allow for tunneling to multiple data centers on devices with limited, e.g., single, concentrator capabilities.

  • VoIP quality bar and “toast” notifications
    Patent number: 8797888
    Abstract: The present invention provides in one aspect a method and a system for displaying a VoIP quality to a user, so that the user may determine if a specific call should be placed in view of the VoIP quality. The present invention also provides in another aspect a method and a system for non-intrusively signaling of an incoming VoIP call so that a user can be informed of the incoming call and yet not be interrupted from his/her current work.
