Disclosed is a system and method for the monitoring and authorization of an optimization device in a network. In exemplary embodiments, an optimization device transmits an authorization request message to a portal to receive authorization to operate. The portal transmits an authorization response message to the optimization device with capability parameters for operation of the device, including at least one expiration parameter for the authorization. The optimization device sends updated authorization request messages to the portal with its device usage information, such that the portal can dynamically monitor the optimization device and continue to authorize its operation.

Dynamic monitoring and authorization of an optimization device

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for the creation, management, and utilization of a multi-region virtual overlay wide area network from a plurality of special purpose network appliances. In exemplary embodiments, multiple regions are created for the virtual overlay wide area network, each region having its own network topology. At least one network appliance from each region is in communication with at least one network appliance from each other region, for inter-region connectivity within the virtual overlay wide area network. A subnet sharing protocol can be utilized to exchange routing information among each network appliance within each region, and between each region.

Multi-region virtual overlay wide area network

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for scalable and secure transmission of multicast data over a public communication network. In exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a virtual overlay network can be presented as a single virtual interface to a computing device, for the receipt and transfer of multicast data in a secure and scalable manner across a public insecure communication network.

Transfer of secure multicast data traffic over a computing network

Systems and methods for selectively transmitting routing information between separated local area network (LAN) interfaces are disclosed. In exemplary embodiments, a network appliance to update a local routing table with IP subnet, neighbor type, source type, and community identifier of a second network appliance; based at least on the local routing table, receive a customized routing policy and subnet exporting policy that permits the network appliance to export a subset of IP addresses from the local routing table to a permitted community of network appliances, wherein the customized routing policy and subnet exporting policy are configured by a network administrator of the network appliance; match the permitted community of network appliances to a new community identifier of a third network appliance; and export the subset of IP addresses of the local routing table to the third network appliance based on the customized routing policy and subnet exporting policy.

Selective routing

Provided are methods, apparatus, and system for policy based wide area network. A network of network appliances is configured with a policy configuration. Each network appliance is configured to validate each wide area network packet against the policy configuration. The validation can include verifying that the packets meet the SD-WAN network segment requirements and security rules including verifying that the source and destination address of the packet meet the firewall zone requirements. Each wide area network packet contains a policy header that is checked by the sending and receiving network appliance against the policy configuration.

Method device and system for policy based packet processing

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamically selecting network paths for data transmission in a virtual overlay network created and maintained across multiple communication networks managed by service providers. The simple creation and management of network overlays is accomplished via a network orchestrator manager, allowing for automation of configuration of connected network devices throughout an entire organization's network, regardless of the physical location of each device. Further, error correcting information can be transferred across a different network path than a plurality of data packets, in accordance with a designated bonding policy.

Disclosed is a system and method for optimization of data transfer to a software service. In exemplary embodiments, a computer-implemented method for determining a transit appliance for data traffic to a software service through one or more interconnected networks comprising a plurality of network appliances, comprises determining performance metrics for each of the plurality of network appliances to at least one IP address associated with the software service, and selecting a transit appliance for data transfer to the IP address, the selected transit appliance based at least in part on the performance metrics.

Determining a transit appliance for data traffic to a software service

Disclosed is a system and method for the dynamic monitoring of network health characteristics via a visualization platform. The platform receives collected information regarding network health characteristics and applies a rule set defining at least one threshold to classify each of the network health characteristics for each network component over a time period. The classifications can be represented visually on a graphical user interface to a network administrator, allowing the administrator to quickly discern which aspects of the network are operating properly and which aspects are not.
