  • Systems and methods for providing network connectors
    Patent number: 11582067
    Abstract: A networking system may include a first network such as a private cloud network and a second network such as a public cloud network. The first network may include a switch coupled to a computing resource. To facilitate a robust and flexible inter-network connection, the networking system may include network connector circuitry having a connector endpoint at the first network and a network connector coupling the connector endpoint to a network element at the second network. A controller for the first network may provide control signals and configuration data to the network connector circuitry to form the connection to the second network and may configure the switch to forward external network traffic to and from the connector endpoint via a switch port directly coupled to the connector endpoint.
