Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to assisting forwarding of multicast traffic over ethernet virtual private network (evpn) from a multicast source to a host multi-homed to multiple provider edge (pe) devices. Embodiments are based on the inclusion of an ethernet segment identification (esi) to evpn type-6 routes advertised by pe devices which received a multicast join message.

Methods of and systems for establishing a packet connection between a first application running on a first electronic device located within a local area network (lan) and a second application running on a second electronic device located outside the lan. The method comprises: sending, by a messaging client located outside the lan, a request message to establish a virtual private ...

A multibit trie is created for routing distribution of ip prefixes in each virtual private network (vpn); and each multibit trie is divided into multiple layers. When routing search is performed for an ip address of a vpn, an input key is generated for each layer respectively, the input key of the layer comprises a vpn identifier of the vpn ...

Method, product and device for selective traffic blockage. In one embodiment, in response to a detection that a computing device cannot connect to a predetermined server, the blockage policy is applied to an outgoing packet, whereby selectively blocking outgoing packets when the computing device has limited connectivity to the predetermined server.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing dynamic authorization by receiving requests for access to a resource or configuration element, sending a notification to a member of an authorization group based on the request, receiving a response to the notification, determining whether to grant authorization to the resource or configuration element based on the response, responding to the ...

A multi-domain controller, a single-domain controller, a software defined optical network system and a method are disclosed, the multi-domain controller at least comprises a virtual network service manager arranged to: process a cross-domain or single-domain virtual optical network service (vons) request sent from an application layer and divide the cross-domain vons request into an inter-domain part to be processed and ...

The present invention discloses methods and systems for estimating network performance of a virtual private network (vpn) tunnel established between a first network node and a second network node. The vpn tunnel comprises a plurality of end-to-end connections.

Presented herein is an exemplified system and method that facilitate a point-to-point (p2p) service operation, via evpn vpws service tunnels, between customer edge nodes and provider edge nodes in a network infrastructure (e.g., a mpls infrastructure). In particular, the exemplified system and method employ an evpn bgp construct that facilitates multiplexing across large number of different physical interfaces, ...

Techniques are described to provide designated forwarder state propagation to customer edge network devices using connectivity fault management (cfm) so as to ensure that customer edge (ce) network devices are aware of a change in designated forwarder election in an ethernet virtual private network (evpn). In one example, a method includes determining a change in designated forwarder election from a ...

A system for connecting a first network device and a second network device includes one or more servers. The servers are configured to: (a) receive, from the first network device, a request to look up a network address of the second network device based on an identifier associated with the second network device; (b) determine, in response to the request, ...

Presented herein are techniques to enable seamless mobility of hosts (endpoints) between disaggregated ethernet virtual private network (evpn) domains that are connected with one another by an external network (e.g., a wide-area network (wan)). In one example, a leaf node in the first domain, which was previously connected to a host, receives updated routing information for the host.

A mechanism to facilitate a private network (vpn)-as-a-service, preferably within the context of an overlay ip routing mechanism implemented within an overlay network. The overlay provides delivery of packets end-to-end between overlay network appliances positioned at the endpoints.

A system can include a host device that execute a virtual machine execution environment. A hypervisor network profile can be associated with the hypervisor of the virtual machine execution environment.

Techniques for executing multiple virtual private network (vpn) endpoints associated with an endpoint pool address are disclosed. A vpn endpoint manager determines traffic attributes of traffic addressed to the endpoint pool address.

A method includes transmitting, over a virtual private network (vpn) to a remotely-located control platform, a request for first information associated with a bootp protocol synchronization process. The method also includes receiving, from the control platform, a first response comprising the requested first information.

A system for securely provided content to a user hides the identity of the user and/or the content from an outside observer by utilizing a plurality of virtual private networks (vpns) and virtual machines (vms) to obfuscate transmission sources. A key is used to generate and control access to a first vpn between a user device and a server ...

An automated method of establishing a virtual private network (vpn) includes: sending, from a secure gateway, a request to a remote server; receiving a response to the request from the server; providing, at the gateway, a graphic code comprising a set of vpn attributes; and providing, at the gateway, access to the vpn. An automated method of establishing a vpn ...

Conventionally, network-accessible devices (e.g., cellular phones, tablets, personal computers) have been able to establish virtual point-to-point connections between a local modem and a virtual private network (vpn) across a public network, such as the internet. However, providers often capitalize on this “open” connection and retrieve information regarding a user's browsing history.

A wireless virtual private network (vpn) connection may be automatically instantiated from a wireless vpn client device using a vpn instantiation server. The vpn client device may automatically connect to the vpn instantiation server to obtain client configuration information for a vpn connection to a vpn endpoint server.

A method for applying network services to data traffic forwarded between virtual private network (vpn) sites includes: receiving a data packet addressed to a target site associated with the vpn, determining services to be applied to the data packet according to a service chain, where the determining is a function of at least one of the vpn, the origin site ...
