Publication number: 20220360633Abstract: A method and system for transmitting and receiving data packets between two network nodes via one or more end-to-end connections. An interface is provided for selecting one or more possible end-to-end connection(s) or established end-to-end connection(s). The method and system may further comprise receiving a policy, wherein one or more selected end-to-end connections are established based, at least in part, on the policy. The policy may also restrict or promote selection of certain established end-to-end connection(s) via the interface provided. The selected and established end-to-end connection(s) are used for transmitting and receiving data packets.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Pismo Labs Technology LimitedInventors: Patrick Ho Wai SUNG, Ho Ming CHAN, Kit Wai CHAU, Min-Fu TSAI

Patent number: 10454879Abstract: A method and system for processing Domain Name Services (DNS) request in a gateway. The gateway receives a DNS request from a host from its local area network. The gateway then selects DNS server(s) and transmits a new DNS request to at least one DNS server(s). DNS server(s) may or may not be accessible through a first tunnel. The contents of the new DNS request are the same as the content of the received DNS request. Further, when the gateway receives a DNS response corresponding to the DNS request, it determines a decision whether to transfer data to the host whose IP address is specified in the DNS response through a second tunnel. The decision may be based on a geographical location of an IP address.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: PISMO LABS TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Alex Wing Hong Chan, Ho Ming Chan, Kit Wai Chau, Chi Pan Yip, Min-Fu Tsai

Patent number: 10142282Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing DNS request in a gateway with WAN and LAN interfaces. The gateway receives a first DNS request from a host via the LAN interface. The gateway selects DNS servers according to predefined selection policies and selects access networks that are authorized to send new DNS requests. The new DNS requests and the first DNA request have the same content. The gateway transmits the new DNS requests to corresponding DNS sever of the selected access networks through the selected access networks and via the WAN interfaces that are connected to the selected access networks. The gateway then identifies valid DNS responses from DNS responses received from the corresponding DNS server. The gateway selects one of the identified valid DNS responses and generates a first new DNS response with the same content thereof. The gateway sends the first new DNS response to the host.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: PISMO LABS TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Ho Ming Chan, Min-Fu Tsai, Alex Wing Hong Chan, Kit Wai Chau
