    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing authorized data flows using software defined networking include receiving flow criteria sent from a firewall and extracted from a first data packet, determining whether flow criteria of the first data packet matches an entry in a master data flow list, inserting the flow criteria from the first data packet into the master data flow list on a software defined networking controller, and sending the flow criteria of the first data packet to the router. The router may forward a second data packet associated with the data flow toward a destination based on the validation of the first data packet by the firewall. The flow criteria may not match an entry in a router data flow list on the router and may include at least two of: a source IP address, a destination IP address, a destination port, and a protocol of transmission.

    Abstract: A system, which uses the internet to deliver time sensitive information, includes an overlay node, having a plurality of overlay nodes, which are used to deliver the time sensitive information. To better characterize the connection between a sending node and a receiving node, the sending node periodically requests each overlay node in the path between the sending node and the receiving node to force a retransmission of a packet, while also forwarding that same packet to the next overlay node. In this way, the delay associated with each link in the path can be quantified and recorded by the receiving node. Based on the observed transmission delays, the receiving node may determine an optimal buffer time. This buffer time is the amount of buffering performed at the receiving node prior to outputting the time sensitive information.
