Abstract: In one aspect, a method useful for implementing high availability (HA) enhancements to a computer network, comprising the steps of: providing a first edge device of a local area network (LAN); providing a second edge device of the LAN; providing a gateway system to the LAN from a wide area network; detecting that an HA cable between the first edge device and the second edge device is disconnected; establishing a network connection between the gateway system and the second edge device; with the gateway system: determining that the first edge device is active and passing network traffic, implementing a network tunneling protocol with second edge device.

Abstract: In one aspect, a computerized method useful for connecting to a multipath hub in a cluster includes the step of, with a gateway in a same network as the cluster, receiving, from a branch edge, a request to connect to a logical identifier (ID) of the multipath hub. The gateway recognizes a logical ID representing a cluster. The gateway determines a least-loaded edge in the cluster to be the multipath hub. The gateway returns a connectivity information for the multipath hub. The branch edge configures a tunnel to the multipath hub.

Abstract: In one aspect, a computer-networking method useful for implementing dynamic high-availability (HA) mode based on current wide area network (WAN) connectivity, comprising the steps of: providing a first edge device of a local area network (LAN) with the WAN; providing a second edge device of the LAN with the WAN; and synchronizing a state of plurality of links with the WAN that are connected to the first edge device and the second edge device.
