Systems, Methods, and Apparatus for Communicating Messages of Distributed Private Networks Over Multiple Public Communication Networks
First Claim
1. A system for communicating messages of distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of communication networks for critical infrastructure, the system comprising:
- at least one of an inter-network interface and a message coordinator;
wherein the inter-network interface comprises at least one network interface, a processing function and a memory; and
wherein the message coordinator comprises at least one network interface, a processing device and a memory;
wherein the inter-network interface is communicatively coupled to the message coordinator;
wherein the inter-network interface is operable to receive a packetized message from a first DPN network element over a first communication network;
wherein the message coordinator is operable to;
receive the packetized message from the inter-network interface;
assign at least a transport route for the packetized message; and
communicate the packetized message to a second DPN network element based on the assigned transport route over a second communication network.

Abstract
Systems and methods for communicating messages of distributed private network (DPN) over a plurality of communication networks including an inter-network interface and a message coordinator communicatively coupled. The inter-network interface is operable to receive a packetized message from a first DPN network element over a first communication network. The message coordinator receives the packetized message from the inter-network interface, assigns at least a transport route for the packetized message; and communicates the packetized message to a second DPN network element based on the assigned transport route over a second communication network. The message coordinator is further operable to assign priority protocol and security protocol to the packetized message.
