  • Transitioning between communication protocols between networks
    Patent number: 9191318
    Abstract: A method is provided in one particular example and may include obtaining routing information for a natively supported Internet protocol of a first network that uses a first routing policy; identifying a route with a tunnel endpoint using the routing information, where the tunnel endpoint supports transitioning between a plurality of Internet protocols; generating tunnel information for the route; and sending the route and the tunnel information to a network element in a second network that uses a second routing policy.
