Systems, Methods, And Apparatus For Communicating Messages Of Distributed Private Networks Over Multiple Public Communication Networks

Systems and methods for communicating messages of distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of communication networks including an inter-network interface and a message coordinator communicatively coupled. The inter-network interface is operable to receive a packetized message from a first DPN network element over a first communication network. The message coordinator receives the packetized message from the inter-network interface, assigns at least a transport route for the packetized message; and communicates the packetized message to a second DPN network element based on the assigned transport route over a second communication network. The message coordinator is further operable to assign priority protocol and security protocol to the packetized message.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A system for communicating messages of a distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of communication networks for critical infrastructure, the system comprising: an inter-network interface and at least one message coordinator, wherein the inter-network interface is part of a cloud service provider and is in network communication with the at least one message coordinator; wherein the inter-network interface comprises at least one network interface, a processing function, and a memory; wherein the at least one message coordinator comprises at least one additional network interface, at least one processing device, and at least one memory; wherein the inter-network interface is part of a first service area; wherein the inter-network interface is operable to receive a packetized message from a first DPN network element of the first service area over a first communication network; wherein the inter-network interface is operable to communicate the packetized message to the at least one message coordinator; wherein the at least one message coordinator is operable to: receive the packetized message from the inter-network interface; assign a transport route to the packetized message; assign a priority and a security protocol to the packetized message based on a prioritization protocol for the DPN, wherein the prioritization protocol is based on a class of service to a second DPN network element of a second service area; and return the packetized message to the inter-network interface; wherein the inter-network interface is operable to determine whether the assigned transport route is available; and wherein the inter-network interface is operable to communicate the packetized message to the second DPN network element over a second communication network based on the assigned transport route or an alternative transport route when the assigned transport route is unavailable.

  • 10. A method for communicating messages of a distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of public communication networks, comprising: providing an inter-network interface and at least one message coordinator, wherein the inter-network interface is part of a cloud service provider and is in network communication with the at least one message coordinator; the inter-network interface receiving a packetized message from a first DPN network element over a first public communication network; the inter-network interface communicating the packetized message to the at least one message coordinator; the at least one message coordinator receiving the packetized message from the inter-network interface; the at least one message coordinator assigning a transport route to the packetized message; the at least one message coordinator further assigning a priority and a security protocol to the packetized message based on a prioritization protocol for the DPN, wherein the prioritization protocol is based on a class of service to a second DPN network element; the at least one message coordinator returning the packetized message to the inter-network interface; and the inter-network interface communicating the packetized message to the second DPN network element based on the assigned transport route over a second public communication network.

  • 18. A system for communicating messages of a distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of communication networks for critical infrastructure, the system comprising: an inter-network interface and at least one message coordinator, wherein the inter-network interface is in network communication with the at least one message coordinator; wherein the inter-network interface comprises at least one network interface, a processing function, and a memory; wherein the at least one message coordinator comprises at least one additional network interface, at least one processing device, and at least one memory; wherein the inter-network interface is part of a first public communication network; wherein the inter-network interface is operable to receive a packetized message from a first DPN network element of the first public communication network; wherein the inter-network interface is operable to communicate the packetized message to the at least one message coordinator; wherein the at least one message coordinator is operable to: receive the packetized message from the inter-network interface; assign a transport route to the packetized message; assign a priority and a security protocol to the packetized message based on a prioritization protocol for the DPN, wherein the prioritization protocol is based on a class of service to a second DPN network element of a second public communication network; and return the packetized message to the inter-network interface; and wherein the inter-network interface is operable to communicate the packetized message to the second DPN network element over the second public communication network.
