10/849331
Inventors:
Martin Lohner - Melrose MA, US
Nathaniel A. Kushman - Boston MA, US
Todd Mitton - Sunnyvale CA, US
Michael Yurovitsky - Redwood Shores CA, US
Abhijit Dixit - Sunnyvale CA, US
Erik L. Nygren - Cambridge MA, US
Silvina Z. Hanono Wachman - Chestnut Hill MA, US
Assignee:
Akamai Technologies, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709245, 709218, 709246

Peer-To-Peer Connection Establishment Using Turn

View page
US Patent:
8588233, Nov 19, 2013
Filed:
Dec 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/339479
Inventors:
Martin Lohner - Cambridge MA, US
Brandon Williams - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:
Akamai Technologies, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370392
Abstract:
A relay service enables two peers attempting to communicate with one another to each connect to a publicly-accessible relay server, which servers are associated with an overlay network and are selected by a directory service. After end-to-end connectivity is established, preferably the hosts communicate with each other by relaying data packets via the overlay network relay servers. Communications (both connection control messages and data being relayed) between a host and a relay server occurs at an application layer using a modified version of the TURN protocol.

Virtual Private Network (Vpn)-As-A-Service With Delivery Optimizations While Maintaining End-To-End Data Security

View page
US Patent:
20220385639, Dec 1, 2022
Filed:
Aug 9, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/884068
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Martin K. Lohner - Cambridge MA, US
Kevin Harmon - Somerville MA, US
Jeffrey Bower - New York NY, US
International Classification:
H04L 9/40
H04L 45/64
H04L 12/46
H04L 45/02
H04L 47/193
Abstract:
A mechanism to facilitate a private network (VPN)-as-a-service, preferably within the context of an overlay IP routing mechanism implemented within an overlay network. A network-as-a-service customer operates endpoints that are desired to be connected to one another securely and privately using the overlay IP (OIP) routing mechanism. The overlay provides delivery of packets end-to-end between overlay network appliances positioned at the endpoints. During such delivery, the appliances are configured such that the data portion of each packet has a distinct encryption context from the encryption context of the TCP/IP portion of the packet. By establishing and maintaining these distinct encryption contexts, the overlay network can decrypt and access the TCP/IP flow. This enables the overlay network provider to apply one or more TCP optimizations. At the same time, the separate encryption contexts ensure the data portion of each packet is never available in the clear at any point during transport.

US Patent:

Filed:
Jul 20, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/381106

According to another feature, data flows within the overlay directed to a particular edge region may be load-balanced while still preserving IPsec replay protection.

Efficient Congestion Control In A Tunneled Network

View page
US Patent:
20210243128, Aug 5, 2021
Filed:
Apr 19, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/233742
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Martin K. Lohner - Medford MA, US
Assignee:
Akamai Technologies, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H04L 12/851
H04L 12/803
Abstract:
A method of congestion control implemented by a sender over a network link that includes a router having a queue. During a first state, information is received from a receiver. The information comprises an estimated maximum bandwidth for the link, a one-way transit time for traffic over the link, and an indication whether the network link is congested. In response to the link being congested, the sender transitions to a second state. While in the second state, a sending rate of packets in reduced, in part to attempt to drain the queue of data packets contributed by the sender. The sender transitions to a third state when the sender estimates that the queue has been drained of the data packets contributed. During the third state, the sending rate is increased until either the sender transitions back to the first state, or receives a new indication that the link is congested.

Multicast Overlay Network For Delivery Of Real-Time Video

US Patent:
20180191793, Jul 5, 2018
Filed:
Dec 28, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/856652
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Martin Lohner - Cambridge MA, US
Ahbijit C. Mehta - Mountain View CA, US
Brandon O. Williams - Revere MA, US
Assignee:
Akamai Technologies, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
H04L 29/08
Abstract:
A method of multicasting real-time video is described. The method begins by establishing a multicast network of machines capable of ingress, forwarding and broadcasting traffic, together with a mapping infrastructure. The multicast network preferably comprises a portion of an overlay network, such as a content delivery network (CDN). A video stream is published to the multicast network by (a) using the mapping infrastructure to find an ingress node in the multicast network, and then receiving the video stream from a publisher at the ingress node. One or more subscribers then subscribe to the video stream. In particular, and for subscriber, this subscription is carried out by (a) using the mapping infrastructure to find an egress node for the requesting client, and then delivering the video stream to the subscriber from the egress node. Preferably, the publisher and each subscriber use WebRTC to publish or consume the video stream, and video stream is consumed in a videoconference.
