Methods and systems for managing virtual addresses for virtual networks

A virtual network comprising:

• a first processor;
• a second processor;
• and
• at least one additional processor separate from the first processor and the second processor that enables said virtual network between the first and second processor, the at least one additional processor further comprising:
• means for determining a first virtual address and a first base address for the first processor such that the first virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the first base address is routable through a base network;
• means for determining a second virtual address and a second base address for the second processor such that the second virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the second base address is routable through the base network;
• and
• means for providing the first virtual address and the first base address to the first processor and the second virtual address and the second base address to the second processor,
• wherein said virtual network is enabled over the base network based on the first virtual address, the first base address, the second virtual address, and the second base address.

A computer program product for enabling a virtual network between a first processor and a second processor using at least one additional processor separate from the first processor and the second processor, the computer program product comprising code, said code comprising:

• code that determines, at the at least one additional processor, a first virtual address and a first base address for the first processor such that the first virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the first base address is routable through a base network;
• code that determines, at the at least one additional processor, a second virtual address and a second base address for the second processor such that the second virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the second base address is routable through the base network;
• code that provides, by the at least one additional processor, the first virtual address and the first base address to the first processor and the second virtual address and the second base address to the second processor;
• and
• code that enables the virtual network over the base network based on the first virtual address, the first base address, the second virtual address, and the second base address.

A system for enabling a virtual network between a first processor and a second processor using at least one additional processor separate from the first processor and the second processor, the system comprising:

• at least one memory including code comprising
• code that determines, at the at least one additional processor, a first virtual address and a first base address for the first processor such that the first virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the first base address is routable through a base network,
• code that determines, at the at least one additional processor, a second virtual address and a second base address for the second processor such that the second virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the second base address is routable through the base network,
• code that provides, by the at least one additional processor, the first virtual address and the first base address to the first processor and the second virtual address and the second base address to the second processor, and
• code that enables the virtual network over the base network based on the first virtual address, the first base address, the second virtual address, and the second base address;
• and
• at least one processor that executes said code.
