SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF AGGREGATED/BONDED NETWORK CONNECTIONS WITH CLOUD PROVISIONING

摘要

A network system for improving network communication performance is disclosed. The system includes 1) at least one network bonding/aggregation computer system that includes: (i) at least one client site network component bonding or aggregating one or more diverse network connections; and (ii) at least one network server component configured to interoperate with the client site network component; and 2) a cloud based network manager that includes: a data collection utility, a network performance analysis utility, and a network configuration utility.

1. A network system for improving network communication performance between at least a first client site and a second client site, wherein the first client site and the second client site are at a distance from one another that would usually require long haul network communication, the system comprising:
(a) at least one network bonding/aggregation computer system comprising:
(i) at least one client site network component that is implemented at least at the first client site, the client site network component bonding or aggregating one or more diverse network connections to configure a bonded/aggregated connection that has increased throughput; and(ii) at least one network server component, configured to interoperate with the client site network component, the network server component including a server/concentrator that is implemented at an access point to a high performing network interconnected with the second client site; and (b) a cloud based network manager comprising:
(i) a data collection utility configured to collect network performance data from a variety of sources or network points in real-time or near real-time;(ii) a network performance analysis utility configured to dynamically analyze the collected network performance data in real-time or near real-time; and(iii) a network configuration utility configured to reconfigure at least one of: the at least one client site network component, the at least one network server component, the one or more diverse network connections, and the bonded/aggregated connection based on the analyzed network performance data.
