Abstract: A system and method for routing data packets between different overlay networks is disclosed. The method includes receiving a DNS lookup request for a resource from a first computing device coupled to a first overlay network. The first overlay network comprises a first edge application gateway. The method includes identifying a second computing device coupled to a second overlay network comprising the resource requested. The second overlay network comprises a second edge application gateway. The method further includes identifying a third overlay network. The data packets generated at, the first computing device is transferred to the first edge application gateway. The data packets are then transmitted from the first edge application gateway and the second edge application gateway over the third overlay network.

Abstract: A system and method for performing load balancing over an overlay network is disclosed. The load balancing is performed by a DNS load balancing module communicating to a plurality of computing devices communicatively coupled over the overlay network. The DNS load balancing module calculates and maintains a weighted value of each computing device among the plurality of computing device based on a plurality of parameters. The DNS load balancing module on receiving a DNS lookup request for a resource from a first computing device identifies a list of computing device among the plurality of computing device hosting the requested resource. The DNS load balancing module further performs load balancing by selecting a computing device among a list of computing devices for accessing the resource based on a weighted value calculated.

Abstract: A system and method for redirecting data packets communicated to a computing device over an overlay network is disclosed. The method includes monitoring resources installed on the computing device to identify the resources communicating over dedicated underlay IP address. The method further includes creating a rule based on the resources identified. The rule is transferred and stored on the computing device. On receiving a data packet, the rule is executed for redirecting the data packets from the overlay network to an underlay network and vice versa. The data packets are redirected by translating a destination IP address on a header of the data packet from an overlay IP address to an underlay IP address. The method thus redirects the data packets from the overlay network to the underlay network before reaching the resource, thereby preventing dropping of the data packet.
