Estimating the term…
A system for indirect border gateway routing comprising a provider edge router; at least one virtual routing and forwarding instance in communication with the provider edge router, each virtual routing and forwarding instance including a route target; a pointer identification list in communication with the provider edge router, the pointer identification list containing at least one route target associated with a virtual routing and forwarding instance; and a virtual routing and forwarding import instance adapted to receive a route from the provider edge router, the route including a pointer identification directing the virtual routing and forwarding import instance to scan the pointer identification list for the route target associated with the plural virtual routing and forwarding instance, and wherein the virtual routing and forwarding import instance is further adapted to import the route to the at least one virtual routing and forwarding instance having a route target on the pointer identification list.
A system for scaling border gateway protocol routing translation comprising a vNAT virtual network function instantiated on a network device, the vNAT virtual network function in communication with at least one customer system and at least one service system;
A network device comprising:
A method comprising providing, on a network device, a vNAT virtual network function, upon receiving a source address, generating a micro vNAT, the micro vNAT translating the source address to a translated address, anchoring the translated address to the micro vNAT to direct the return flow to the micro vNAT.
