Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus are disclosed to route cloud-based service communications. An example method includes generating a default route address associated with a selected one of a plurality of candidate transit routers in response to an identification of a virtual private network addition to the cloud-computing network, and assigning the default route address to a cloud service access router to direct a routing request from the cloud service access router to the selected one of the candidate transit routers via the default route address.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a cloud resource manager comprising a processor, a virtual private network addition to a cloud-computing network;
- generating, by the cloud resource manager, a default route address associated with a selected one of a plurality of candidate transit routers in response to identifying the virtual private network addition to the cloud-computing network;
- generating, by the cloud resource manager, a list of transit routers in response to identifying a geographic distance between each of the transit routers and a cloud service access router;
- and
- assigning, by the cloud resource manager, the default route address to the cloud service access router to direct a routing request from the cloud service access router to the selected one of the candidate transit routers via the default route address.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
- generating, by a tag generator, a default route address associated with a selected one of a plurality of candidate transit routers in response to identifying a virtual private network addition to a cloud-computing network;
- identifying, by a network topology manager, a geographic distance between each of the plurality of candidate transit routers and the cloud service access router;
- and
- assigning, by a route reflector manager, the default route address to a cloud service access router to direct a routing request from the cloud service access router to the selected one of the candidate transit routers via the default route address.
A tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a virtual private network addition to a cloud-computing network;
- generating a list of candidate transit routers to receive routing requests associated with the virtual private network;
- generating a default route address associated with a selected one of the candidate transit routers;
- identifying a geographic distance between each of the transit routers and the cloud service access router;
- and
- assigning the default route address to a cloud service access router to direct a routing request from the cloud service access router to the selected one of the candidate transit routers via the default route address.
