Interoperability system for enterprise software defined wide area networks
The granted patent US12047271B2 outlines a computer-implemented method and system designed to enhance interoperability among enterprise Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs). The method involves discovering multiple enterprise SD-WANs from a pool of onboarded networks, determining their deployment models, and deploying a Cross-Connect Interworking Virtualized network function (CIV) agent in network terminals based on these models. The CIV agent is configured to establish secure tunnels with the interoperability system, facilitating the exchange of routing information necessary for data flow. A routing information table is generated from the data received, which is crucial for establishing secure tunnels that enable communication between the various enterprise SD-WANs.
Additionally, the patent specifies that the deployment model may involve universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE) or proprietary Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), with the CIV agent deployed accordingly. The system includes an interconnect controller that manages the CIV agent's operations, ensuring secure tunnel establishment and routing information generation. The secure tunnels can utilize various services, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), broadband, and 3GPP services. The patent also encompasses a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for executing these operations, further emphasizing the method's applicability in real-world enterprise networking scenarios.
