System and method of cross-connection traffic routing

A system, comprising:

• a storage device containing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor operable to execute the instructions to perform a method comprising steps of:
• receiving traffic from a routing device, the traffic being associated with an imported route target;
• accessing a table to determine an exported route target associated with the traffic, the exported route target being determined based on the imported route target;
• determining a destination device associated with the exported route target;
• and
• routing the traffic to the destination device.

A system, comprising:

• at least one filtering device and at least one cross-connecting system, the at least one filtering device comprising:
• a storage device containing instructions and at least one processor, the processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method of:
• receiving traffic from at least one device associated with at least one customer;
• determining whether a destination device associated with the traffic is provisioned to the at least one customer, and based on the determination:
• assigning the at least one device to a first globally unique address pool, and
• reformatting the traffic to refer to at least one address in the globally unique address pool;
• and
• forwarding the traffic to a routing device associated with the at least one customer for sending to the at least one cross-connecting system;
• wherein the at least one cross-connecting system comprises:
• a storage device containing instructions and at least one processor, the processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method of:
• receiving traffic from the routing device, the traffic being associated with an imported route target;
• accessing a table to determine an exported route target associated with the traffic, the exported route target being determined based on the imported route target;
• determining a destination device associated with the exported route target;
• and
• routing the traffic to the destination device.
