Abstract

Some embodiments provide a novel method for connecting one or more vehicles to a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN). The method deploys an edge router to operate in the vehicle, and configures the edge router to connect to several wireless network links (e.g., 5G cellular links) operating in the vehicle. In some embodiments, the different wireless network links are different mobile hotspot links provided by different telecommunication network providers (e.g., AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Orange, etc.). The method configures the edge router to forward several data message flows from a device operating in the vehicle (e.g., a computer located in the vehicle or a machine (e.g., virtual machine, Pod, container, etc.) executing on a computer located in the vehicle) to the SD-WAN using the several telecommunications network links.

Claims (31)

1 . A method for connecting a vehicle to a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN), the method comprising:

deploying an edge router to operate in the vehicle;

configuring the edge router to connect to a plurality of wireless network links operating in the vehicle; and

configuring the edge router to forward a plurality of data message flows from a device operating in the vehicle to the SD-WAN using one or more of the plurality of wireless network links that are selected each time the vehicle travels by a predetermined distance.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein configuring the edge router to forward the plurality of data message flows comprises configuring the edge router to forward data messages of a particular flow along different wireless network links.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein configuring the edge router to forward data messages of the particular flow comprises configuring the edge router to iteratively collect metrics quantifying a set of attributes of each wireless network link at different locations traveled by the vehicle and selecting different wireless network links for the particular flow at the different locations based on the collected metrics.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein configuring the edge router to forward data messages of the particular flow comprises configuring the edge router to iteratively collect metrics quantifying a set of attributes of each wireless network link at different times and selecting different wireless network links for the particular flow at different times based on the collected metrics.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the set of attributes of each wireless network link comprises attributes associated with at least one of reliability and speed of the wireless network link.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein configuring the edge router to forward the plurality of data message flows further comprises configuring the edge router to embed the data messages of the particular flow with a sequence number for a destination router of the SD-WAN that receives the data messages of the particular flow, to use to put the data messages that are sent along the different wireless network links in a correct sequential order before forwarding the data messages to a subsequent destination in the SD-WAN.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the destination router is a gateway of the SD-WAN.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the destination router is a hub forwarding node of a datacenter of the SD-WAN.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the destination router is an edge forwarding node of a branch site of the SD-WAN.

10 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

configuring a deep packet inspector to perform a deep packet inspection (DPI) on a particular flow to identify a type of traffic carried by data messages of the particular flow; and

configuring the edge router to select, based on the identified traffic type, a particular wireless network link from the plurality of wireless network links to forward the particular flow.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein configuring the edge router to select the particular wireless network link based on the identified traffic type comprises providing the edge router with a plurality of rules that specify different desired link attributes for different types of traffic.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of rules comprise a rule that specifies selecting a wireless network link with a highest reliability score for a particular type of traffic.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the wireless network link with the highest reliability score does not have a highest transmission time score.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of rules comprise a rule that specifies selecting a wireless network link with a pre-requisite reliability score for a particular type of traffic.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of rules comprise a rule that specifies selecting a wireless network link with a lowest transmission time score for a particular type of traffic.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the edge router is one of (i) an edge router appliance, (ii) an edge router that executes on a computer that operates in the vehicle, or (iii) an edge router that executes on a machine that executes on the computer.

17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the device is one of (i) a machine executing on a computer that operates in the vehicle, or (ii) the computer.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the machine is one of a virtual machine (VM), a Pod, or a container.

19 . A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program for execution by at least one processor of an edge router operating in a vehicle to connect the vehicle to a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN), the program comprising sets of instructions for:

configuring the edge router to connect to a plurality of wireless network links operating in the vehicle; and

configuring the edge router to forward a plurality of data message flows from a device operating in the vehicle to the SD-WAN using one or more of the plurality of wireless network links that are selected each time the vehicle travels by a predetermined distance.

20 . The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the set of instructions for configuring the edge router to forward the plurality of data message flows comprises a set of instructions for configuring the edge router to forward data messages of a particular flow along different wireless network links.

21 . A computer system that is programmed to execute a method for connecting a vehicle to a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN), the method comprising:

deploying an edge router to operate in the vehicle;

configuring the edge router to connect to a plurality of wireless network links operating in the vehicle; and

configuring the edge router to forward a plurality of data message flows from a device operating in the vehicle to the SD-WAN using one or more of the plurality of wireless network links that are selected each time the vehicle travels by a predetermined distance.
