  1. 1
    A network system for providing long haul network connection between endpoint devices, comprising:a first endpoint device (EPD);a second endpoint device;a first exchange server (SRV_BBX);a second exchange server;a first access point server (SRV_AP) coupled between the first endpoint device and the first exchange server;a second access point server coupled between the second endpoint device and the second exchange server;wherein the first exchange server (SRV_BBX) comprises a first Read Queue coupled to a first storage node (PFS), wherein the first storage node (PFS) is coupled between the first exchange server (SRV_BBX) and the second exchange server;wherein the second exchange server comprises a first Write Queue coupled to the first storage node (PFS), wherein the second exchange server further comprises a second Read Queue coupled to a second storage node, wherein the second storage node is coupled between the first exchange server (SRV_BBX) and the second exchange server;wherein the first exchange server (SRV_BBX) comprises a second Write Queue coupled to the second storage node;wherein the first exchange server (SRV_BBX) is configured to - convert first packetized traffic received from the first endpoint device, via the first access point server (SRV_AP), into a first carrier file, and - write the first carrier file to the second storage node via remote direct memory access (RDMA);wherein the second exchange server is configured to - read the carrier file from the second storage node, - convert the carrier file into second packetized traffic, and - send the second packetized traffic to the second end device via the second access point server;- to convert third packetized traffic received from the second endpoint device, via the second access point server, into a second carrier file, and - write the second carrier file to the first storage node via remote direct memory access (RDMA);wherein the first exchange server is further configured to - read the second carrier file from the first storage node, - convert the second carrier file into fourth packetized traffic, and - send the fourth packetized traffic to the first end device via the first access point server, and wherein the network system further comprises algorithmic decision logic to determine whether to use, for transmission of packets from the first endpoint to the second endpoint, a regular Internet path or a path using the first and second exchange servers, by comparing the latency of the regular Internet path to the latency of the path using the first and second exchange servers, wherein the regular Internet path is a path between the first endpoint device and the second endpoint device on an open network of networks that peer with each other either directly or via peering with third party networks and which uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over IP as communication protocol.
