Cloud network services provider having a gateway for subscriber specified connection to a cloud service provider

A system for connecting a subscriber to a cloud service provider through a subscriber communication service having embedded network infrastructure preferences associated with a specific communication services provider comprising:

• a gateway for connecting a subscriber communication input device, through the subscriber communication service, to an accessible cloud service provider, wherein the gateway includes:
• a module for registration of a cloud service subscriber;
• a module for creation of a cloud service subscriber profile, said profile having cloud service subscriber identifying information, cloud service subscriber location information, and cloud service subscriber specified preferences for a cloud service provider;
• means for cloud service subscriber generation of a communication message (data packet) for transmission to the cloud services provider through said gateway, said communication message having a subscriber Network Address, comprising at least Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 protocols, and a Virtual Local Area network (“VLAN”);
• and
• a communication management platform for manipulating said Layer 2 and said Layer 3 protocols of said subscriber specific Network Address by abstraction, modification and reassembly of said Layer 2 and Layer 3 of said Network Address of said communication message, to effect modification of the routing address of the subscriber Network Address and subscriber VLAN assignment of the VLAN Layer, to comport with a VLAN assignment to a subscriber specified cloud service provider, preliminary to transmission to said subscriber specified cloud service provider;
• wherein said communication management platform effects translation or modification of the Network Address of said communication message (data packet), by routing and switching manipulation of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols for abstraction of source and destination information from the Network Address, from a global routing table for source and destination networks, for a subscriber specified cloud service provider, for transmission to such subscriber specified cloud service provider.

An improved method for connecting a subscriber to a cloud service provider through a subscriber communication service having embedded network infrastructure preferences associated with a specific communications services provider, wherein the improvement comprises:

• providing a cloud service network provider having a system for connecting the subscriber to the cloud service provider through a subscriber communication service having embedded network infrastructure preferences associated with the specific communication services provider including:
• a gateway for connecting a subscriber communication input device, through a subscriber communication service, to an accessible cloud service provider, wherein the gateway includes a module for registration of a cloud service subscriber and a module for creation of a cloud service subscriber profile having cloud service subscriber identifying information, cloud service subscriber location information, and cloud service subscriber specified preferences for a cloud service provider;
• means for cloud service subscriber generation of a subscriber communication message (data packet) for transmission to a cloud services provider through said gateway, said communication message having a subscriber specific Network Address, comprising at least Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 protocols, and a Virtual Local Area Network (“VLAN”);
• a communication management platform for manipulating said Layer 2 and said Layer 3 protocols of said subscriber specific Network Address, by abstraction, modification, and reassembly of said Layer 2 and said Layer 3 of said Network Address of said communication message, to effect modification of the routing address of the subscriber Network Address and subscriber VLAN assignment of the VLAN layer, to comport with a VLAN assignment to a subscriber specified cloud service provider, preliminary to transmission to a said subscriber specified cloud service provider;
• providing an accessible cloud service provider;
• and
• initiating of a subscriber communication message (data packet) through said gateway for transmission to a subscriber specified cloud service provider;
• wherein said communication management platform effects translation or modification of the Network Address of said communication message (data packet), by routing and switching manipulation of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols for abstraction of source and destination information from the Network Address, from a global routing table for source and destination networks, for a subscriber specified cloud service provider, for transmission to such subscriber specified cloud service provider.
