A data sending method, a sending device, a data receiving method, and a receiving device, the method including obtaining, by a sending device, a target medium access control protocol data unit (MPDU) by performing encapsulation processing on an internet protocol (IP) data packet of a specified service, where the sending device and a receiving device are connected through Wi-Fi, generating a backup MPDU of the target MPDU, and sending the target MPDU and the backup MPDU to the receiving device.

An edge server of a distributed edge compute and routing service receives a tunnel connection request from a tunnel client residing on an origin server, that requests a tunnel be established between the edge server and the tunnel client. The request identifies the hostname that is to be tunneled. An IP address is assigned for the tunnel. DNS record(s) are added or changed that associate the hostname with the assigned IP address. Routing rules are installed in the edge servers of the distributed edge compute and routing service to reach the edge server for the tunneled hostname. The edge server receives a request for a resource of the tunneled hostname from another edge server that received the request from a client, where the other edge server is not connected to the origin server. The request is transmitted from the edge server to the origin server over the tunnel.

Various implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods and apparatuses of a first device, that obtain contact point information of a second device associated with the first device, as a peer device in a private network, where the contact point information of the second device includes one or more peer uplink identifiers and each respective peer uplink identifier corresponds to a respective peer device uplink of the second device. The systems, methods and apparatuses establish a first private network data tunnel from a first uplink of the first device to the second device, using the contact point information of the second device, and a first uplink identifier associated with the first uplink, and establish a second private network data tunnel from a second uplink of the first device to the second device, using the contact point information of the second device, and a second uplink identifier associated with the second uplink.

Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing network address translation with a tunnel identifier (TEID) in a cellular network. A HetNet Gateway (HNG) allocates at least a portion of a unique TEID for a user equipment (UE). The HNG receives a packet having a source field in the packet header including an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The HNG replaces the IP address in a source field of the packet header of the packet with the unique TEID for the UE and forwards the packet using the unique TEID to a packet gateway (PGW).

Mechanisms for split tunneling are provided. The mechanisms identify user devices and determine that communications for a first device of the user devices are to be tunneled. These mechanisms also receive a DNS request from a second device of the user devices, modify the DNS request to request meta information corresponding to a domain identified in the DNS request, and send the DNS request to a DNS server. The mechanisms further receive a response to the DNS request, wherein the response includes the meta information, determine that communications for the second device are not to be tunneled based at least in part on the meta information, and cause the communications for the first device to be tunneled and the communications for the second device to not be tunneled.

A packet destined for a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) network is received at a wireless station from a user device. A serving gateway (SGW) receives the packet from the wireless station via an S1U GTP tunnel and assigns an uplink S1U General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP) tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID) to the packet. The SGW performs a network address translation (NAT) function on the packet based on the uplink S1U GTP TEID assigned to the packet to form a translated packet. The SGW transmits the translated packet to the MEC network.
