Establishing a Private Network using Multi-Uplink Capable Network Devices

Abstract

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.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 at a shared contact point network entity having a memory, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, and one or more processors:
 receiving a first registry request message from a first uplink of a first device having two or more uplinks, wherein each respective uplink is associated with a respective uplink identifier, the first registry request message including a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is characterized by a first write privilege and the second portion is characterized by a second write privilege different from the first write privilege; 
 obtaining first peer contact point information corresponding to one or more peer device uplinks of one or more respective peer devices of the first device; and 
 generating a first response message including the first peer contact point information.
