Abstract
The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate a failover and internet connection monitoring system featuring a cloud server running an API, a probe, a firewall and a policy routing system. The failover connection monitoring system is capable of gathering and analyzing performance data and controlling the flow of packets to and from the internet over one or more connections to optimize performance of the network.
Claims20
A failover connection monitoring and validation system, comprising:
- (a) server comprising one or more endpoints;
- (b) a probe configured to issue routed packets, each pack comprising source information and destination information;
- (c) a firewall configured enforce policy routing comprising:
- (i) a first network interface for a first connection and
- (ii) a second network interface for a second connection;
- and
- (d) a policy routing system on the firewall configured to route the routed packets through the first network interface and the second network interface over the first connection and the second connected based on destination information for resolution to one of the one or more endpoints on the server,
- wherein the server is configured to correlate receipt of routed packets from the first connection and the second connection at the one or more endpoints to validate the status of the first connection and the second connection.

A LAN connection monitoring and validation system, comprising:
- (a) a cloud server;
- (b) a local probe configured to issue a first packet and a second packet,
- (i) the first packet comprising a first condition and
- (ii) the second packet comprising a second condition;
- and
- (c) a firewall in operational communication with the local probe and cloud server;
- (d) a primary connection in communication with the firewall;
- (e) a secondary connection in communication with the firewall;
- and
- (f) a policy routing system on the firewall configured to route the first packet and the second packet for resolution on the cloud server,
- wherein the local probe is configured to apply rules to route the first packet based on the first condition and the second packet based on the second condition,
- wherein the cloud server is configured to validate the primary connection when the first packet is resolved to a first endpoint on the cloud server via the primary connection, and
- wherein the cloud server is configured to validate the secondary connection when the second packet is resolved to a second endpoint on the cloud server via the secondary connection.
