Global mapping to internal applications

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• computer memory storing computer program instructions configured to provide connection routing in an overlay network accessible to multiple tenants, wherein a tenant has an associated enterprise application that resides in multiple private geo-locations, the multiple private geo-locations being interconnected in a site-to-site manner, each private geo-location having a connector cnfigured therein that has connectivity to (i) the enterprise application in the private geo-location in which the connector is configured, and (ii) to the enterprise application in at least one other private geo-location to which the connector can access via site-to-site interconnections, the overlay network comprising a set of intermediary nodes, and a mapping service, the computer program instructions comprising program code configured to:
• receive information from each connector, the information comprising a public IP address of a device associated with the connector, a set of internal IP addresses reachable within the geo-location from the connector, and a measurement of the connector's relative connectivity to the enterprise application that resides in the multiple private geo-locations;
• responsive to receipt of a connection request from a client that is directed to the enterprise application, use the information received from the connectors to identify a path to a particular connector in a given private geo-location to handle the connection request;
• interoperate with the mapping service to cause the connection request to be forwarded across one or more intermediary nodes to the particular connector;
• and
• control the particular connector to establish an end-to-end connection between the client and the enterprise application.

A computer program product in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions configured as program code and executable in one or more hardware processors to provide connection routing in an overlay network accessible to multiple tenants, wherein a tenant has an associated enterprise application that resides in multiple private geo-locations, the multiple private geo-locations being interconnected in a site-to-site manner, the overlay network comprising a set of intermediary nodes, and a mapping service, the program code comprising:

• a connector configured in each private geo-location, wherein the connector has connectivity to the enterprise application in the private geo-location in which the connector is configured, and to the enterprise application residing in at least one other private geo-location to which the connector can access via site-to-site interconnections;
• and
• a location service, the location service configured to:
• receive information from each connector, the information comprising a public IP address of a device associated with the connector, a set of internal IP addresses reachable within the geo-location from the connector, and a measurement of the connector's relative connectivity to the enterprise application that resides in the multiple private geo-locations;
• responsive to receipt of a connection request from a client that is directed to the enterprise application, use the information received from the connectors to identify a path to a particular connector in a given private geo-location to handle the connection request;
• interoperate with the mapping service to cause the connection request to be forwarded across one or more intermediary nodes to the particular connector;
• and
• control the particular connector to establish an end-to-end connection between the client and the enterprise application.
