Abstract
The disclosure relates to an end-to-end private networking system. The system may include a private wide area network. The private wide areas network may allow for multi-tenancy. The private wide area network connects the tenants to an aggregation network core via a mobile data network. The aggregation network core is in turn in secure communication with one or more distributed servers via a secure tunnel or other secure connection.
Claims20
An end-to-end private networking system, comprising:
- a) a private wide area network comprising
- i) two or more tenants;
- and
- ii) a network core comprising an aggregation network;
- b) a distributed network;
- c) a monitoring platform in communication with the aggregation network;
- and
- d) a probe in association with at least one of the two or more tenants, wherein:
- i) the two or more tenants are connected to the network core via at least one mobile data network,
- ii) the network core segments traffic from the two or more tenants,
- iii) the private wide area network is in communication with the distributed network via a secure tunnel in communication with the network core and the distributed network,
- iv) the monitoring platform is configured to receive data from the probe to analyze network conditions and network health metrics, and
- v) the probe is configured to operate in coordination with one or more system components to change a network traffic route through the private wide area network for at least one of the two or more tenants.
A method for providing a secure, private end-to-end networking comprising:
- providing at least two tenants on a secure wide area network (WAN) and at least one probe in association with at least one of the at least two tenants;
- connecting the at least two tenants to a router cluster and an aggregation network;
- isolating traffic for each of the at least two tenants from each other;
- sorting and filtering traffic from the at least two tenants via at least one route map on the aggregation network;
- egressing traffic from the aggregation network to a distributed network via a secure conduit;
- receiving data from the at least one probe at a monitoring platform in communication with the aggregation network, the monitoring platform configured to analyze network conditions and network health metrics;
- and
- operating the at least one probe in coordination with one or more system components to change a network traffic route through the WAN for at least one of the at least two tenants.
A method for providing end-to-end private networking via a private wide area network (WAN) comprising:
- connecting at least two tenants to an aggregation network, wherein the at least two tenants both generate traffic;
- routing traffic through the aggregation network via a router cluster applying at least one route map;
- isolating traffic for each of the at least two tenants from each other;
- egressing traffic from the aggregation network to a distributed network via a secure conduit;
- routing traffic from at least one probe in association with at least one of the at least two tenants to a monitoring platform, wherein the monitoring platform is in operable communication with the aggregation network and the monitoring platform is configured to analyze network conditions and network health metrics, and
- operating the at least one probe in coordination with one or more system components to change a network traffic route through the WAN for at least one of the at least two tenants.
