Route Importing Method, Device, and System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18164264 titled 'Route Importing Method, Device, and System

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for importing routing information between virtual private network (VPN) instances in a network device. Instead of separately importing routing information from one VPN instance to another, the method allows for the direct import of routing information from the first VPN instance to a third VPN instance via a second VPN instance.

  • The method involves importing routing information between VPN instances in a network device.
  • The first routing information of a first VPN instance is imported from a first network device to a second network device.
  • The first network device then imports the first routing information from the second VPN instance to a third VPN instance within the same device.
  • This eliminates the need for separate imports between the first and second VPN instances, and between the first and third VPN instances.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in network devices that utilize VPN instances for secure communication.
  • It can be useful in scenarios where multiple VPN instances need to exchange routing information efficiently.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of importing routing information between VPN instances.
  • Eliminates the need for separate imports, reducing complexity and potential errors.

Benefits

  • Streamlines the import of routing information, improving efficiency.
  • Reduces the chances of errors that can occur during separate imports.
  • Enhances the overall performance and management of VPN instances in a network device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A route importing method includes after importing first routing information of a first VPN instance in a second network device from a first VPN instance to a second VPN instance in a first network device, the first network device imports the first routing information from the second VPN instance to a third VPN instance in the first network device, rather than separately importing the routing information of the first VPN instance from the first VPN instance to the second VPN instance and the third VPN instance.
