U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Upholds FatPipe Networks' Patent Claim on WAN Load Balancing

SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - November 01, 2017) -  @FatPipeNetworks, the inventor and holder of multiple patents for #softwaredefined networks for wide area connectivity and hybrid WANs, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office Patent Court has upheld a signature claim in FatPipe's U.S. Patent No. 6,775,235 for load balancing over disparate networks. FatPipe's 6,775,235 patent describes a system and method for communicating using two or more disparate networks in parallel, allowing for failover and load balancing of session flows and re-directing packets over multiple networks. This path selection ability represents the foundation of a hybrid WAN and the primary component of a SD-WAN solution. The key claim states: A method for combining connections for access to parallel networks, the method comprising the steps of: sending a packet to a site interface of a controller, the controller comprising the site interface which receives packets, at least two network interfaces to parallel networks, and a packet path selector which selects between the network interfaces on a per-session basis to promote load-balancing; and forwarding the packet-through the network interface selected by packet path selector; wherein the step of sending a packet to the controller site interface is repeated as multiple packets are sent, and the controller sends different packets of a given message to different parallel networks. "This is an important step in establishing the strength of this claim, elevating it to a super claim status. Having gone through the most rigorous evaluation, we now have a the ability to protect the company's invention on WAN load balancing for VoIP, VPN and data traffic for corporate networks. Along with other FatPipe Networks' patents, this claim ensures that VoIP, Video, VPN and all data traffic can be load balanced and failed over without dropping sessions providing a superior SD-WAN product for customers. The benefits to customers are huge," said Dr. Ragula Bhaskar, CEO, FatPipe Networks. FatPipe Networks' co-founders Dr. Ragula Bhaskar and Sanchaita Datta are the inventors of hybrid WAN and SD-WAN technology. This patent, as well as 10 additional patents and more than 180 technological claims cover the full spectrum of hybrid WAN and SD-WAN technology. About FatPipe Networks FatPipe® Networks invented the concept of software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) and hybrid WANs that eliminate the need for hardware and software, or cooperation from ISPs and allows companies to control WAN traffic. FatPipe currently has 11 U.S. patents and more than 180 technology claims related to multipath, software-defined networking and selective encryption of broadband networks. FatPipe technology provides the world's best intra-corporate wide area network solutions that transcend Internet and other network failures to maintain business continuity and high transmission security.

Showcases SD-WAN enabling NFV deployments to Address Enterprise IT Leader Demands NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 17, 2017) - (ONUG Fall 2017) - @FatPipe® Networks, the inventor and multiple patents holder of #softwaredefinednetworks for wide area connectivity and hybrid #WAN s, is demonstrating multi-function #VNF (Virtualized Network Function) with integrated SD-WAN (Software-defined Networking) to enable digital transformation of NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) at the @ONUG Fall Conference, Oct. 17-18, 2017, to be considered for the ONUG Right Stuff Innovation Awards. As a part of the ONUG Working Group Initiatives, enterprise IT leaders, vendors, and cloud/service providers collaborated over the past year to compile requirements for the development of solutions that address the Monitoring & Analytics and Software-Defined Security Services uses cases. At ONUG Fall, FatPipe Networks will demonstrate FatPipe VNF™, based on the Software-Defined Security Services guidelines to be considered for the new Right Stuff Innovation Awards, which recognize companies that best address the goals outlined by the working groups. FatPipe Networks' participation in the Right Stuff Innovation Awards underscores their commitment to the development of markets and solutions required by the ONUG IT Community to support digital transformation strategies for the hybrid multi-cloud era," said Nick Lippis, ONUG co-founder and co-chairman. "We're confident that collaboration, such as this with FatPipe Networks, will contribute to an increase in the available choices and options available to IT buyers in the large enterprise and fill the solution gaps in the hybrid cloud market." "In the rapidly evolving SD-WAN market place, FatPipe's VNF/SD-WAN initiative not only delivers on the user benefits of VNF, but now, serves to simplify the introduction of NFV-based feature enhancements. Software-only network function virtualization enables and empowers enterprises to overlay next-generation functionality, as an application instance within SD-WAN, rather than yet another piece of hardware to manage and maintain," said FatPipe's CTO Sanch Datta.
