Cloud computing enhanced gateway for communication networks
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- monitoring network traffic of a first network;
detecting a network event associated with the first network;
reporting the network event to a server of a second network;
receiving a network policy update for the first network from the server, wherein the network policy update is based, at least in part, on an event type of the network event reported to the server; and
implementing the network policy update at the first network.

Abstract
A network traffic managing node of a local area network, such as a router or gateway, can monitor network traffic of the local area network. A network event associated with the local area network is detected using the network traffic managing node. The network event is reported from the network traffic managing node to one or more servers of a cloud-based computing network. A network policy update for the network traffic managing node is received from the cloud-based computing network. The network policy update is based, at least in part, on a type of network event reported to the cloud-based computing network. The network policy update is implemented at the network traffic managing node to process and/or resolve the network event.

1. A method comprising:
-
monitoring network traffic of a first network; detecting a network event associated with the first network; reporting the network event to a server of a second network; receiving a network policy update for the first network from the server, wherein the network policy update is based, at least in part, on an event type of the network event reported to the server; and implementing the network policy update at the first network. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A method comprising:
-
detecting an unknown packet stream at a managing node of a first network; selecting a default classification for the unknown packet stream; reporting information associated with the unknown packet stream from the managing node to a server of a second network; receiving, at the managing node, a policy update for the unknown packet stream from the second network, wherein the policy update indicates how to detect and classify a subsequent instance of the unknown packet stream; and implementing the policy update at the managing node. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a server of a first network, a report message from a first router of a second network indicating a first network event that was detected at the first router; determining an event type of the first network event; aggregating data associated with the event type with data previously received from a second router that detected a second network event of the event type; analyzing the aggregated data; determining a network policy update associated with the event type based on a result of analyzing the aggregated data; and sending the network policy update to the first router to configure the first router with the network policy update. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A network router comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory unit configured to store instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the network router to, monitor network traffic of a first network; detect a network event associated with the first network; report the network event to a server of a second network; receive a network policy update for the network router from the server, wherein the network policy update is based, at least in part, on an event type of the network event; and implement the network policy update at the network router. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)

26. A network router comprising:
-
a processor; and a network monitoring unit coupled with the processor and configured to, detect an unknown packet stream received at the network router of a first network; select a default classification for the unknown packet stream; report information associated with the unknown packet stream to a server of a second network; receive, from the second network, a policy update for the unknown packet stream, wherein the policy update indicates how to detect and classify a subsequent instance of the unknown packet stream; and implement the policy update at the network router. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A non-transitory machine-readable storage media having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a processor causes the processor to,
detect an unknown packet stream at a first network; -
select a default classification for the unknown packet stream; report information associated with the unknown packet stream to a server of a second network; receive a policy update for the unknown packet stream from the second network, wherein the policy update indicates how to detect and classify a subsequent instance of the unknown packet stream; and implement the policy update. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36)
