A computerized method for utilizing private Internet Protocol (IP) addressing for communications between components of one or more public cloud networks. The method features determining whether outbound traffic corresponds to a first type of outbound traffic being forwarded from a cloud instance supported by the gateway. In response to determining that the first type of outbound traffic is being forwarded from the cloud instance, the first type of outbound traffic is directed via a data interface of the gateway. Also, the method features determining whether the outbound traffic corresponds to a second type of outbound traffic being initiated by logic within the gateway. In response to determining that the second type of outbound traffic is being initiated by logic within the gateway, directing the second type of outbound traffic via a management interface of the gateway.

Management network and method of operation

The present invention guarantees that voice data (and other information types) will switch within a predetermined time period. Systems and methods consistent with the present invention accomplish this guarantee by, among other things, establishing permanent virtual paths or circuits between each network element, guaranteeing each voice line a slot in a packet in each frame, employing both octet switching and packet switching, synchronizing the operation of the network elements to a reference clock, and providing several levels of network redundancy.
