    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described which improve performance, reliability, and predictability of networks without having costly hardware upgrades or replacement of existing network equipment. An adaptive communication controller provides WAN performance and utilization measurements to another network node over multiple parallel communication paths across disparate asymmetric networks which vary in behavior frequently over time. An egress processor module receives communication path quality reports and tagged path packet data and generates accurate arrival times, send times, sequence numbers and unutilized byte counts for the tagged packets. A control module generates path quality reports describing performance of the multiple parallel communication paths based on the received information and generates heartbeat packets for transmission on the multiple parallel communication paths if no other tagged data has been received in a predetermined period of time to ensure performance is continually monitored. An ingress processor module transmits the generated path quality reports and heartbeat packets.

    Abstract: A highly predicable quality shared distributed memory process is achieved using less than predicable public and private internet protocol networks as the means for communications within the processing interconnect. An adaptive private network (APN) service provides the ability for the distributed memory process to communicate data via an APN conduit service, to use high throughput paths by bandwidth allocation to higher quality paths avoiding lower quality paths, to deliver reliability via fast retransmissions on single packet loss detection, to deliver reliability and timely communication through redundancy transmissions via duplicate transmissions on high a best path and on a most independent path from the best path, to lower latency via high resolution clock synchronized path monitoring and high latency path avoidance, to monitor packet loss and provide loss prone path avoidance, and to avoid congestion by use of high resolution clock synchronized enabled congestion monitoring and avoidance.

    Abstract: A firewall is described that is integrated in an input stage of a packet processing pipeline so that it recognizes and has access to internal information regarding the different services, such as conduit, intranet, Internet, local vs WAN, applications, and security zones, of a communication network, such as an adaptive private network (APN). The integrated firewall is able to dynamically access the service type, respond to the service type, and adjust the service type based on conditions in the network. Since application awareness and security functions are integrated, customers can set security policies on software applications. The integrated firewall also provides automatic detection of applications, classifies applications based on domain names, steers traffic to services according to software applications, reports on software applications in passthrough traffic, and provides analysis of traffic that does not match a software application so that a user can investigate and define custom applications.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing a backup network path using a standby wide area network (WAN) link with reducing monitoring. Packet loss and latency metrics are monitored for network paths in an adaptive private network (APN) connecting a first user and a second user according to control traffic operating at a first control bandwidth for each network path. A determination is made that a first network path uses a standby WAN link, has packet loss and latency metrics indicative of a good quality state, and has at least one characteristic that identifies the first network path as a backup network path. The control traffic is then reduced for the backup network path to a second control bandwidth substantially less than the first control bandwidth. The backup network path is made active when the number of active network paths is less than or equal to a minimum number.
