Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a DLP resource as a User managed cloud resource with compliance tools, automated service delivery, federate-able cloud single sign-on, and agile resource integration. A method for implementing a communication network for an Internet of Thing (IoT) application includes establishing a multi-path connection among data link protocol (DLP) nodes. One of the DLP nodes is an IoT device. Each DLP node includes a slow agent and a fast agent. A first DLP node determines a second DLP node has failed. The second DLP node is associated with a role in the communication network. The first DLP node transmits a DLP frame carrying the control message to the plurality of DLP nodes. The first DLP node re-establishes a connection with a third DLP node based on the control message. The third DLP node takes over the role of the second DLP node.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques in a telecommunication network are provided for implementing a data link layer control plane that may comply with the Ethernet standard and with sub-millisecond transmission control capabilities across multiple dis-similar technologies and bandwidth links. The framework provides a dynamic modular traffic control function insertion, removal, mapping function by having interpreter functions in the protocol agents that can map states and commands to sub-service chain functions that are configured per path and quality of service (QoS) flows. The control protocol provides high levels of resiliency and reliability by having a replicating function that transmits the same control protocol frames across multiple links simultaneously. The agents are multi-chassis capable and support hitless service impacts for administrative changes. Control plane messages may be encoded as a data plane frame and be transmitted at a high rate using the data plane.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a data link protocol (DLP) resource as a user managed cloud resource with compliance tools, automated service delivery, federate-able cloud single sign-on, and agile resource integration. A method for implementing a telecommunication network protocol in an application layer includes establishing, at an application layer, data traffic between first and second DLP nodes. Each DLP node may be implemented at a processor, a virtual switch, or a software application. Each DLP node may include a slow agent and a fast agent. The method may also include determining that the data traffic needs a control message. The method may also include generating the control message at the application layer and injecting the control message to the header of a DLP frame. The DLP frame does not include the payload. The DLP frame is transmitted from the first DLP node to the second DLP node.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques in a telecommunication network are provided for implementing a data link layer control plane that may comply with the Ethernet standard and with sub-millisecond transmission control capabilities across multiple dis-similar technologies and bandwidth links. The data link protocol system may be implemented through a cloud system. Setting and resource registries of the nodes in the network may be displayed at a cloud portal for users to adjust the network. The change in the setting may be communicated through an application programming interface of a compute host to change the setting of the network. Each DLP node includes a slow agent and a fast agent. The slow agent is configured to transmit data messages through Ethernet frames. The fast agent is configured to transmit control messages through DLP frames. Each DLP frame includes a header only without a payload and the header carries a control message.
