Dynamic Per-Link Proxying of Traffic Between Interconnects of Devices in a Fabric

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• a dynamic proxying logic, configured to:
• establish a connection with an external cloud controller;
• receive a session cookie from the external cloud controller;
• initiate a proxy agent to proxy data traffic on each port of the device;
• discover a plurality of network devices using a Remote Procedure Call RPC server;
• receive a connection request from a network device of the plurality of network devices;
• and
• transmit the connection request to the external cloud controller.

A method, comprising:

• discovering a plurality of network devices;
• transmitting proximity data to the plurality of network devices;
• receiving modified proximity data from the plurality of network devices;
• selecting a gateway device from one or more identified gateway devices based on the modified proximity data;
• transmitting a connection request to the selected gateway device;
• receiving a session cookie from the selected gateway device;
• and
• establishing a logical connection based on the session cookie.
