Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing customer resource telemetry and use as a service. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive, from a user, a request to access at least one network-accessible resource associated with a customer of a service provider, the user being unassociated and unrelated with the customer; might identify at least one of a user identification, a company, or a class of user associated with the user; might determine whether at least one resource record associated with the customer indicates that the user has permission to access the at least one network-accessible resource, based on the identification. If so, the computing system might provide the user with access to the at least one network-accessible resource associated with the customer. If not, the computing system might deny, to the user, access to the at least one network-accessible resource associated with the customer.

The computing system might determine whether at least one trigger event associated with a second demand classification has occurred. If so, the computing system might adjust the routing of the network traffic across the one or more network nodes or adjust the utilization of the one or more network nodes, based at least in part on the second demand classification.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing extension of customer local area networks (“LANs”) and/or implementing isolated service overlays over a network. In some embodiments, a network service point that is located external to a demarcation point at each of a plurality of customer premises might establish a connection between a service provider network and a customer LAN, which has already been established within a customer premises. The system subsequently extends the customer LAN, via this connection, to span between the network service point and the customer premises. Alternatively, or additionally, the system might establish two or more isolated service overlays across the customer LAN between the network service point and the customer premises, each of the two or more isolated service overlays having network traffic that is isolated from network traffic transmitted along another of the two or more isolated service overlays.

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 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.

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 might provide for implementing customer-based Internet of Things (“IoT”)—transparent privacy functionality. Various methods, systems, and apparatuses might provide connectivity between a network interface device (“NID”) and each of one or more first user devices of a plurality of user devices associated with the customer premises and/or a user who is associated with the customer premises. In some cases, at least one virtual network function (“VNF”) might be sent to each of the one or more first user devices. The NID might restrict, in some cases using the VNF, access by a third party to the information regarding the at least one portion of the at least one of one or more first user devices connected to the network or one or more applications running on one or more first user devices connected to the network.
