Abstract
A gateway device suitable for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications provides data communication to a corporate data network via at least one wide area network (WAN). The device includes at least one northbound data communication interface operably coupled to the at least one WAN, at least one southbound data communication interface operably coupled to at least one local area network (LAN), a data plane operably coupled to the at least one northbound data communication interface and the at least one southbound data communication interface, and an SD-WAN controller implemented by at least one software module that executes on at least one processor of the gateway device.
Claims22
A gateway device for data communication to a corporate data network via at least one wide area network (WAN), the gateway device comprising:
- at least one northbound data communication interface operably coupled to the at least one WAN;
- at least one southbound data communication interface operably coupled to at least one local area network (LAN);
- a data plane operably coupled to the at least one northbound data communication interface and the at least one southbound data communication interface;
- and
- an SD-WAN controller implemented by at least one software module that executes on at least one processor of the gateway device, wherein the SD-WAN controller configures the data plane to implement at least one software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) overlaid on the at least one WAN, and wherein the SD-WAN controller controls the data plane to intelligently forward data between the at least one LAN and the corporate data network over the at least one SD-WAN.
