Title: Methods and systems for identifying data sessions at a VPN gateway
Inventor: YING KWAN
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2017-06-12
Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting data packets from a host to a destination via a virtual private network (VPN) connection at a VPN gateway. VPN gateway receives 1301 encapsulated packets via the VPN connection. The encapsulated packets encapsulate the data packets originated from the host. VPN gateway decapsulates 1302 the encapsulated packets to retrieve the data packets. VPN gateway determines 1303 whether the data packets originated from an loT device based on IP address of the host. When the host is the loT device, VPN gateway performs deep packet inspection (DPI) 1307 on the data packets. VPN gateway determines whether the data packets are allowed to be transmitted to the destination 1308. When the data packets are allowed to be transmitted to the destination, VPN gateway transmits the data packets to the destination. A determination may also be made on the basis of a destination address being on a whitelist 1306.
