Systems, methods, and apparatus for communicating messages of distributed private networks over multiple public communication networks

A method for communicating messages of a distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of public communication networks, comprising:

• providing an inter-network interface and at least one message coordinator, wherein the inter-network interface is part of a cloud service provider and is in network communication with the at least one message coordinator;
• the inter-network interface receiving a packetized message from a first DPN network element over a first public communication network;
• the inter-network interface communicating the packetized message to the at least one message coordinator;
• the at least one message coordinator receiving the packetized message from the inter-network interface;
• the at least one message coordinator assigning a transport route to the packetized message;
• the at least one message coordinator further assigning a priority and a security protocol to the packetized message based on a prioritization protocol for the DPN, wherein the prioritization protocol is based on a class of service to a second DPN network element;
• the at least one message coordinator returning the packetized message to the inter-network interface;
• and
• the inter-network interface communicating the packetized message to the second DPN network element based on the assigned transport route over a second public communication network.

A system for communicating messages of a distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of communication networks for critical infrastructure, the system comprising:

• an inter-network interface and at least one message coordinator, wherein the inter-network interface is in network communication with the at least one message coordinator;
• wherein the inter-network interface comprises at least one network interface, a processing function, and a memory;
• wherein the at least one message coordinator comprises at least one additional network interface, at least one processing device, and at least one memory;
• wherein the inter-network interface is part of a first public communication network;
• wherein the inter-network interface is operable to receive a packetized message from a first DPN network element of the first public communication network;
• wherein the inter-network interface is operable to communicate the packetized message to the at least one message coordinator;
• wherein the at least one message coordinator is operable to:
• receive the packetized message from the inter-network interface;
• assign a transport route to the packetized message;
• assign a priority and a security protocol to the packetized message based on a prioritization protocol for the DPN, wherein the prioritization protocol is based on a class of service to a second DPN network element of a second public communication network;
• and
• return the packetized message to the inter-network interface;
• and
• wherein the inter-network interface is operable to communicate the packetized message to the second DPN network element over the second public communication network.
