SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A SINGLE GLOBAL BORDERLESS VIRTUAL PERIMETER THROUGH DISTRIBUTED POINTS OF PRESENCE

摘要

A system and method for providing a virtual perimeter through distributed points of presence. A network system comprises one or more Perimeter Points of Presence (P/PoP) configured to provide a virtual perimeter. The one or more P/PoPs comprise a network interface component; a plurality of selectable service area systems, each of which comprises one or more selectable service area sub-systems, wherein the selectable service area systems and sub-systems can provide a customized virtual perimeter for an entity. The one or more P/PoPs are configured to receive data; process the data using at least one of the service area systems and sub-systems configured as a data processing policy for the entity; and transmit the processed data as policy compliant data from the one or more P/PoP to an end destination.

1. A network system comprising:
one or more Perimeter Points of Presence (P/PoP) configured to provide a virtual perimeter, the one or more Perimeter Points of Presence (P/PoP) comprising: a network interface component configured to accept physical or virtual connections or both; a plurality of selectable service area systems for processing data, each service area system comprising one or more selectable service area sub-systems, wherein the selectable service area systems and selectable service area sub-systems can be configured to provide a customized virtual perimeter for an entity, wherein the one or more Perimeter Points of Presence (P/PoP) are configured to
receive data via a connection to the Perimeter Points of Presence (P/PoP);process the data using at least one of the service area systems and selected service area sub-systems configured as a data processing policy for the entity; andtransmit the processed data as policy compliant data from the one or more Perimeter Points of Presence (P/PoP) to a destination connected to the Perimeter Points of Presence (P/PoP).
