Abstract
The present application details exemplary methods and systems for monitoring and analyzing network characteristics between the network device and a plurality of datacenters. The network device dynamically maps to the datacenter that associates with a superior available network connection. Further, the network device may dynamically map to different datacenters based on various network characteristics between the network device and available connections between each datacenter.
Claims20
A method for communication, comprising:
- establishing a first connection between a network device and a first datacenter of a plurality of datacenters;
- determining, using at least one processor, a plurality of connectivity metrics that corresponds to each of the plurality of datacenters;
- and
- switching from the first connection to a second connection between the network device and a second datacenter of the plurality of datacenters when a connectivity metric that corresponds to the second datacenter is superior to a connectivity metric that corresponds to the first datacenter.
A method for communication on a voice-over internet protocol network, comprising:
- analyzing, using at least one processor, a first connection between a voice-over internet protocol device and a first datacenter to obtain a first connectivity metric;
- analyzing an available connection between the voice-over internet protocol device and a second datacenter to obtain a second connectivity metric;
- determining that the second connectivity metric is superior to the first connectivity metric;
- based on the second connectivity metric being superior to the first connectivity metric, establishing a second connection between the voice-over internet protocol device and the second datacenter;
- and
- terminating the first connection between the voice-over internet protocol device and the first datacenter upon establishing the second connection between the voice-over internet protocol device and the second datacenter.
A system for voice-over internet protocol communication, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- receive data from one or more network devices connected to a first datacenter;
- analyze the data received from the one or more network devices to determine network characteristic information;
- identify a network device having one or more attributes related to the one or more network devices;
- and
- send the network characteristic information to the identified network device based on the analyzed data.
