METHOD FOR APPLICATION CLASS OF SERVICE IN ZERO TRUST CAMPUS NETWORK
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product aspects for providing packets from an agent-based zero trust network access (ZTNA) user device class of service in a campus network. Some aspects of this disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) including a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to generate a packet that include a payload and an inner header and generate an encrypted packet by encrypting the packet. The processor is further configured to generate a combined packet based on the encrypted packet and an outer header. The outer header indicates a class of service corresponding to the packet. The processor is further configured to transmit the combined packet to a campus network via a secured tunnel.
1 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory;
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
generate a packet that includes a payload and an inner header;
generate an encrypted packet by encrypting the packet;
generate a combined packet based on the encrypted packet and an outer header, wherein the outer header indicates a class of service corresponding to the packet; and
transmit the combined packet to a campus network via a secured tunnel.
2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the outer header further indicates a permission to access the campus network.
3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the campus network is a zero trust network access (ZTNA) network.
4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein to generate the combined packet, the at least one processor is further configured to:
determine the class of service based on the packet; and
generate the outer header based on the class of service.
5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the secured tunnel is an Internet protocol security (IPSEC) tunnel or a wireguard tunnel.
6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the outer header is an Internet protocol differentiated services code point (IP DSCP) header.
7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the inner header is a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) header.
8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
connect to the campus network; and
in response to connecting to the campus network, generate the combined packet.
9 . A method of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
generating a packet that includes a payload and an inner header;
generating an encrypted packet by encrypting the packet;
generating a combined packet based on the encrypted packet and an outer header, wherein the outer header indicates a class of service corresponding to the packet; and
transmitting the combined packet to a campus network via a secured tunnel.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the outer header further indicates a permission to access the campus network.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the campus network is a zero trust network access (ZTNA) network.
12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the generating the combined packet further comprises:
determining the class of service based on the packet; and
generating the outer header based on the class of service.
13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the secured tunnel is an Internet protocol security (IPSEC) tunnel or a wireguard tunnel.
14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the outer header is an Internet protocol differentiated services code point (IP DSCP) header.
15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the inner header is a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) header.
16 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
connecting to the campus network; and
in response to connecting to the campus network, generating the combined packet.
17 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium (CRM) comprising instructions to, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations, the operations comprising:
generating a packet that includes a payload and an inner header;
generating an encrypted packet by encrypting the packet;
generating a combined packet based on the encrypted packet and an outer header, wherein the outer header indicates a class of service corresponding to the packet; and
transmitting the combined packet to a campus network via a secured tunnel.
18 . The non-transitory CRM of claim 17 , wherein the outer header further indicates a permission to access the campus network.
19 . The non-transitory CRM of claim 17 , wherein the generating the combined packet further comprises:
determining the class of service based on the packet; and
generating the outer header based on the class of service.
20 . The non-transitory CRM of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise:
connecting to the campus network; and
in response to connecting to the campus network, generating the combined packet.
