Publication number: 20230077765Abstract: Metadata indicating that a virtual traffic hub enabling connectivity between a plurality of isolated networks has been established is stored. A determination is made that a first entry of a first isolated network attached to the hub is to be represented in a second routing table of a second isolated network attached to the hub, e.g., to enable network packets originating at resources of the second isolated network to be transmitted via the hub to the first isolated network. A new entry corresponding to the first entry is included in the second routing table.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul John Tillotson, Bashuman Deb, Thomas Spendley, Omer Hashmi, Baihu Qian, Alexander Justin Penney

Publication number: 20230079670Abstract: Network pathways are identified to transfer packets between a pair of regional virtual traffic hubs of a provider network. At a first hub of the pair, a first action is performed, resulting in a transmission of a packet received from a first isolated network to the second hub along a pathway selected using dynamic routing parameters. At the second hub, a second action is performed, resulting in the transmission of the packet to a destination within a second isolated network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bashuman Deb, Paul John Tillotson, Thomas Nguyen Spendley, Omer Hashmi, Baihu Qian, Mohamed Nader Farahat Hassan

Publication number: 20220321471Abstract: A message indicating an auxiliary task associated with traffic transmitted via a virtual router between a pair of isolated networks is received at an offloading device. A stack multiplexer at the offloading device selects a protocol stack instance to process the message. A result of the auxiliary task is obtained by the multiplexer from the selected protocol stack instance and transmitted to the virtual router, where it is used to transmit a packet between the isolated networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2021Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bashuman Deb, Omer Hashmi, Thomas Nguyen Spendley, Baihu Qian, Guru Kannan, Shridhar Kulkarni, Paul John Tillotson, Ramin Ali Dousti, Indira Radhika Pulla, Yuxin Ren, Fahed Hijazi, Xiyuan Gou, Steve Ge, Nicholas Ryan Lombardi, Brandon Michael LaRue, Jaywant U.

Publication number: 20220321469Abstract: A pair of virtual routers is configured. In response to programmatic requests, dynamic transfer of routing information between the routers in accordance with configuration settings indicated by a client is enabled. The routing information is associated with a set of isolated networks to which the virtual routers are attached. A network packet originating at an address in a first isolated network is transmitted to an address in a second isolated network using a route determined from routing information transmitted between the virtual routers according to the configuration settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2021Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Baihu Qian, Omer Hashmi, Thomas Nguyen Spendley, Bashuman Deb, Shridhar Kulkarni, Paul John Tillotson, Indira Radhika Pulla, Ramin Ali Dousti, Nicholas Ryan Lombardi, Steve Ge, Nick Matthews, Anoop Dawani

Publication number: 20210058364Abstract: Connectivity is enabled between a first and second isolated network using a virtual traffic hub that includes a decision master node responsible for determining a routing action for a packet received at the hub. At the hub, a determination is made that a particular domain name system (DNS) message being directed to a first resource in the first isolated network is to include an indication of a second resource in the second isolated network. The second resource is assigned a network address within a private address range of the second isolated network, which overlaps with a private address range being used in the first isolated network. The hub causes a transformed version of the network address to be included in the DNS message delivered to the first resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2020Publication date: February 25, 2021Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul John Tillotson, Bashuman Deb, Thomas Spendley, Omer Hashmi, Baihu Qian, Alexander Justin Penney

Patent number: 10797989Abstract: Metadata indicating that an action implementation node and a routing decision master node have been assigned to a virtual traffic hub programmatically associated with one or more isolated networks is stored. The routing decision master node determines a first action to be implemented for packets of a network flow using state information of the isolated networks, and provides a representation of a first action to the first action implementation node. Based on performing the first action at the action implementation node, contents of a data packet received from one isolated network are transmitted to another isolated network.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul John Tillotson, Bashuman Deb, Thomas Spendley, Omer Hashmi, Baihu Qian, Alexander Justin Penney

Patent number: 10785146Abstract: An isolated packet processing cell of a packet processing service, comprising an action implementation node and a decision master node, is assigned to an application. An indication of processing rules of the application is transmitted to the decision master node. In response to receiving a particular packet, the action implementation node obtains a representation of an action (which is based on the processing rules) from the decision master node and executes the action.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul John Tillotson, Bashuman Deb, Thomas Spendley, Omer Hashmi, Baihu Qian, Alexander Justin Penney

Patent number: 10742446Abstract: Configuration operations to enable connectivity, using a virtual traffic hub, between a plurality of isolated networks including a first isolated network with a first private address range, are initiated. The hub includes a plurality of nodes including a decision master node responsible for determining routing actions for packets received at the hub. At the decision master node, a translation mapping is obtained for a second private address range of a second isolated network, which overlaps with the first private address range. At a particular node of the hub, using the mapping, a header of a network packet received from the second isolated network and directed to a destination outside the second isolated network is modified.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul John Tillotson, Bashuman Deb, Thomas Spendley, Omer Hashmi, Baihu Qian, Alexander Justin Penney

Patent number: 10742554Abstract: At an action implementation layer of a virtual traffic hub, a packet is obtained from a first isolated network. A first action, generated at a decision making layer of the hub based on a first route table of the hub, is performed, resulting in transmission of at least one network packet to a first destination. In response to a second packet, obtained at the action implementation layer from a source outside the first isolated network, a second action is performed, resulting in transmission of at least one packet to a second destination. The second action is generated based on a second route table of the hub.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bashuman Deb, Paul John Tillotson, Thomas Nguyen Spendley, Omer Hashmi, Baihu Qian, Mohamed Nader Farahat Hassan
