Administering Network-Connected Devices Using Tunneled Routing - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18027333 titled 'Administering Network-Connected Devices Using Tunneled Routing

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques and devices for administering network-connected devices using tunneled routing in a fabric network.

  • The invention allows for accessing administrative services using an access router in a network segment of the fabric network.
  • The first access router in a network segment receives an advertisement for a second network segment and establishes a secure tunnel with a second access router in the second network segment.
  • The first access router advertises a network route to an Ecosystem Administrative Service (EAS) in the second network segment.
  • The advertised network route is used to route messages between devices in the first network segment and the EAS.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques and devices for administering network-connected devices using tunneled routing are described for accessing administrative services using an access router in a network segment of a fabric network in which a first access router in a first network segment of a fabric network receives a first advertisement for a second network segment of the fabric network and establishes a first secure tunnel with a second access router in the second network segment in the fabric network. The first access router advertises, in the first network segment, a first network route to an Ecosystem Administrative Service, EAS, in the second network segment, and uses the advertised first network route to route messages between one or more devices in the first network segment and the EAS.
