Optimizing kvm data processing in ip network environments
The granted patent US12041028B2 outlines a sophisticated system for managing keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) data through a dual-interface architecture. The system comprises multiple KVM targets, a public interface linked to a public virtual local area network (VLAN), and a private interface connected to a private VLAN. A bonded interface facilitates communication between these VLANs. Central to the system are two application containers: a general-purpose application container that processes session configuration data and establishes a network address translation (NAT) route, and a second application container that prioritizes and routes KVM data directly to the KVM targets. This design allows for efficient data handling, ensuring that KVM data is processed with higher priority than other data streams.
Additionally, the patent describes a KVM switching device that incorporates these functionalities, enabling users to connect to target devices through access requests. The device features multiple processing cores and interfaces that manage both public and private connections. The general application container initiates KVM sessions and creates NAT routes, while the second application container handles KVM data, ensuring it is routed efficiently to the appropriate target device. The system is designed to support multiple users and sessions, allowing for dynamic management of KVM data and resources, including the ability to delete and reuse NAT routes as needed. This innovative approach enhances the performance and flexibility of KVM switching in various environments.
