==PRIVATE ALIAS ENDPOINTS FOR ISOLATED VIRTUAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464951 titled 'PRIVATE ALIAS ENDPOINTS FOR ISOLATED VIRTUAL NETWORKS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application related to tunneling traffic to a service within an isolated virtual network of a provider network. A tunneling intermediary receives a packet from a compute instance, encapsulates it with a header indicating the isolated virtual network, and transmits it to the service node.

* Explanation of the patent/innovation:
* A tunneling intermediary is designated as a routing target for traffic within an isolated virtual network.
* The tunneling intermediary receives a packet with the public IP address of the service as the destination and the private IP address of the compute instance as the source.
* Using a tunneling protocol, the tunneling intermediary encapsulates the packet with a header indicating the isolated virtual network.
* The encapsulated packet is then transmitted to a node of the service.

== Potential applications of this technology ==
This technology could be applied in secure communication between different services within a provider network, ensuring that traffic is routed efficiently and securely.

== Problems solved by this technology ==
This technology solves the problem of securely transmitting data between services within an isolated virtual network, ensuring that communication is protected and efficient.

== Benefits of this technology ==
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security for data transmission, efficient routing of traffic within a provider network, and improved communication between services.

== Potential commercial applications of this technology ==
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in cloud computing services, where secure communication between different instances is crucial for maintaining data integrity and privacy.

== Possible prior art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional VPN (Virtual Private Network) technologies that also aim to secure communication between different networks or instances.

=== Unanswered questions ===

== How does this technology compare to existing tunneling protocols in terms of efficiency and security? ==
This article does not provide a direct comparison between this technology and existing tunneling protocols in terms of efficiency and security.

== What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale? ==
This article does not address the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale, such as scalability issues or compatibility with existing network infrastructure.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

In accordance with a designation of a private alias endpoint as a routing target for traffic directed to a service from within an isolated virtual network of a provider network, a tunneling intermediary receives a baseline packet generated at a compute instance. The baseline packet indicates a public IP (Internet Protocol) address of the service as the destination, and a private IP address of the compute instance as the source. In accordance with a tunneling protocol, the tunneling intermediary generates an encapsulation packet comprising at least a portion of the baseline packet and a header indicating the isolated virtual network. The encapsulation packet is transmitted to a node of the service.
