Abstract:

A device creates a local forwarding function in a virtual machine of a device associated with a cloud computing environment, where the local forwarding function local forwarding function connects the device with local devices associated with the cloud computing environment. The device creates a global forwarding function in the virtual machine, where the global forwarding function connects the device with global devices associated with other cloud computing environments. The device also creates, in the virtual machine, a virtual control plane that controls the local forwarding function and the global forwarding function. The device communicates, via the local forwarding function, first traffic with a particular local device of the local devices, and communicates, via the global forwarding function, second traffic with a particular global device of the global devices.
