  • System and method for distributed flow state P2P setup in virtual networks
    Patent number: 11240066
    Abstract: Systems and methods for virtual network implementation and management based on a peer-to-peer metadata exchange are disclosed. Metadata pertaining to a flow traversing a virtual network overlaying an underlying network is generated in accordance with actions executed to send data packets via the underlying network relative to the virtual network. The metadata is encapsulated in one or more control packets sent to a set of nodes of the underlying network. Each node of the set of nodes maintains a copy of the metadata received in the one or more control packets in a local data store. The metadata is accessed via the local data store when needed to process packets of the flow.
    Type: Grant
