Abstract: A method of controlling the distribution of content in a network is described. The content traverses the network in packets comprising a packet header including an address associated with the content, and a packet payload including the content. The method includes obtaining the address associated with the content from the packet traversing the network and analysing the address to extract information associated with the content carried in the packet payload.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing multi-cloud connectivity. A method can involve adding a new virtual private cloud (VPC) to a multi-cloud environment including a private network and VPCs connected to the private network via a segment routing (SR) domain and respective virtual routers on the VPCs and the private network. The method can involve deploying a new virtual router on the new VPC, registering the new virtual router at a BGP controller in the multi-cloud environment, and receiving, at the BGP controller, topology information from the new virtual router. The method can further involve identifying routes in the multi-cloud environment based on paths computed based on the topology information, sending, to the new virtual router, routing information including the routes, SR identifiers and SR policies, and based on the routing information, providing interconnectivity between the private network, the VPCs, and the new VPC.
