Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to Internet traffic control and/ or monitoring and routing tools, and more particularly to a method for connecting programs and/or applications to network interfaces.
- GoS 360 is software, executing on a device, able to monitor and apply policies to the incoming and outgoing traffic to/from a device. So, on any specified type of traffic (identified basically by type of protocol, IP destination address, port, etc.), and on any specified link (WiFi, Ethernet, etc.), this product is able to enforce different priorities, delays, jitter, restrictions, etc. from within the device.
- the software also provides a DPI (deep packet inspection) module which in some cases may be used for traffic type differentiation. It has as well a "GoS Manager", a centralized manager which is able to push these policies from a central place into any given number of devices.
- DPI deep packet inspection
- Netbalancer This software, executing on a device, is able to apply policies and restrictions on certain types of traffic. In addition to GoS networks abilities, it is able to apply these policies on specific processes running on the device, and not just on types of traffic. This is: their addition is to apply policies depending on the process which is originating the traffic.
- OS Connection Managers current Operating Systems (be it Windows OS for PCs or Android and iOS for smartphones) have a functionality that decides which kind of connectivity is to be provided, whenever an application or service running on the device requires data access.
- MAPCON Multi Access PDN-Connectivity
- IFOM IP Flow Mobility
- 3GPP type of connections e.g. 3G
- other over a non 3GPP connections e.g.
- APN Access Point Name
- IP flow class IP flow class
- Netbalancer technology goes one step further than the previous one in being able to apply policies to traffic depending on the process which is generating it, and not just on the type of traffic. But again, this is useless if you just want to apply policies to some programs or applications, since programs and applications are generally executed from very many different processes, and the common device user is not able to relate the programs he is using, with the processes supporting it. Other times different and unrelated applications generate traffic through the same OS-related process (i.e. svchost.exe in Microsoft Windows environment) making it impossible to distinguish their traffic with this mechanism.
- OS-related process i.e. svchost.exe in Microsoft Windows environment
- OS Connection Managers do not allow the possibility for the end user (or the service/application developer) to specify which connectivity is better for each application.
- the OS just gives the last connectivity that has been enabled, this is: it does not matter that the laptop might have an Ethernet port connected, WiFi enabled, and 3G; all the applications that require connectivity will go through the last connectivity that has been activated. This makes impossible for the end user to say "I want Windows Update to go only via Ethernet or WiFi, but not on 3G".
- applications just get connected to the connection that is enabled this is: it is not possible to tell the handset that whenever I start application X, please switch to 3G data and abandon WiFi.
- OS routing tables either through OS commands (i.e. "route" command in Microsoft Windows), or with the use of dedicated applications; in any case, routing is done based on IP addresses schema, and not on which application is requesting connectivity. And it is usually a complex process, not suitable at all for the average user.
- the present invention provides a method for connecting programs and/or applications to network interfaces.
- the method of the invention comprises:
- the method of the invention in order to provide a particular kind of connectivity or prioritization granting access to said at least one program and/or application to said at least one network interface comprises in a characteristic manner, performing following steps:
- the virtual network adapter maps the network data traffic with the at least one application originating it in order to perform said step b).
- Several mechanisms such as a file directory where said at least one application resides, registry information and/or installed application lists can be used for performing the mapping.
- step b) is performed by marking a plurality of IP frames and/or by using RAM heaps shared between processes.
- the system administrator can select the QoS routing policy by identifying said at least one program and/or application through a graphic user interface (GUI). Then, the system administrator is able to establish per application policies such as priority, minimum bandwidth required for said at least one application and preferred network interfaces, among others.
- GUI graphic user interface
- step (e) is performed only when said at least one application is associated with an active connection.
- Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram representing the structure followed by the method of the present invention, according to an embodiment.
- Embodiments of the present invention propose a technical solution for Internet traffic control and/or a monitoring tool that is able to provide the ability to:
- the final user devices which the invention is able to control may be any device with computing capacity and connectivity to at least one network interface: such as PCs, laptops, mobile devices, including mobile phones and tablets.
- Control of how priority is assigned or connectivity selected is done by a system administrator. There are several possible scenarios:
- the invention is used to control all the PCs in a home network.
- One member of the family gets the role of system administrator, and is able to assign priorities and connectivity usage of all the rest of PCs at home.
- Figure 1 show in an embodiment the detail technical description of the present invention, where related functionalities are enclosed within the dashed line box.
- Virtual Network Adapter This virtual network interface acts as an umbrella for all the existing connectivity.
- mapping traffic to the originating applications: process originating the traffic, file directory where the executable resides, registry information, installed applications lists, etc.
- Google Chrome traffic is to be sent through WiFi
- the Virtual Network Adapter identifies traffic coming from that application, it routes it to the WiFi network adapter.
- GUI Graphic User Interface
- a real prototype has been developed, in software for Windows 7 platform, in a laptop computer.
- Use case 1 different traffic priorities per originating application.
- Use case 2 traffic routing policies per originating application.
- the system administrator is able to specify how applications connect to Internet. For instance:
- Windows Update (or any other software update) should work only via Ethernet or WiFi, and not via 3G, in order not to get the 3G flat rate quota to be wasted on software updates.
- an end user can specify that, as he uses Firefox to connect to important places (banking services, corporate services, etc.), he wants Firefox to connect always via 3G, as it is considered more secure.
- the administrator may decide to assign high bandwidth to corporate applications and just best effort for the other ones, improving business affectivity.
- parents may decide to block or limit traffic from certain applications running in son's PC, in order they do not to fill completely their FTTH access.
- the system administrator is able to specify which applications are important, and hence make sure that connectivity resources are dedicated to these applications, improving hence the final user experience (as shown in use case 4, section 3.2).
- laptops and mobile devices generate a lot of "background traffic" originated in applications that the end user is not directly using, which is competing in equal priority with the traffic generated by the applications that the end user is really using, worsening his experience.
- the end user can use simultaneously all the connectivity available on the laptop by the redirection of different applications to different links. This is a way to aggregate all the connectivity capacities available on the same device.
