DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM OPERATIONS IMPLEMENTED USING SCALABLE VIRTUAL TRAFFIC HUB - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481966 titled 'DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM OPERATIONS IMPLEMENTED USING SCALABLE VIRTUAL TRAFFIC HUB
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for enabling connectivity between two isolated networks using a virtual traffic hub. The hub includes a decision master node responsible for determining routing actions for packets received at the hub. In this system, a DNS message directed to a resource in the first network is modified to include an indication of a resource in the second network, which has a network address within a private address range overlapping with the first network.
- The system enables connectivity between isolated networks using a virtual traffic hub.
- The decision master node at the hub determines routing actions for packets received.
- DNS messages are modified to include indications of resources in different networks.
- The second network resource has a network address within a private address range overlapping with the first network.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in scenarios where organizations need to securely connect separate networks while maintaining control over routing and addressing.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of securely connecting isolated networks with overlapping private address ranges without compromising network security.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced network connectivity, improved network security, and efficient routing of traffic between isolated networks.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the field of network security solutions for enterprises looking to securely connect multiple networks.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of virtual private networks (VPNs) to connect isolated networks securely. However, the specific method of modifying DNS messages to include indications of resources in different networks with overlapping private address ranges may be a novel aspect of this innovation.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle potential conflicts between overlapping private address ranges in the two isolated networks?
The patent application does not provide details on how conflicts between overlapping private address ranges in the two networks are resolved.
What are the potential performance implications of using a virtual traffic hub for routing between isolated networks?
The patent application does not address the potential performance impact of routing traffic through a virtual traffic hub between isolated networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
Connectivity is enabled between a first and second isolated network using a virtual traffic hub that includes a decision master node responsible for determining a routing action for a packet received at the hub. At the hub, a determination is made that a particular domain name system (DNS) message being directed to a first resource in the first isolated network is to include an indication of a second resource in the second isolated network. The second resource is assigned a network address within a private address range of the second isolated network, which overlaps with a private address range being used in the first isolated network. The hub causes a transformed version of the network address to be included in the DNS message delivered to the first resource.
