Patent number: 11863625Abstract: Technology is disclosed for bridging clouds of computing devices for compute and data storage. The technology can receive a virtual routing table (VRT), wherein the VRT indicates an association with a virtual local area network (VLAN) and defines neighbors for each route wherein at least one neighbor is defined for each of the two different cloud service providers, wherein the route definition creates a private transitive network between the neighbors; receive from a first node a first message destined for a second node; determine that the first message employs the route specified by the VRT; forward the first message to the second node; receive from a third node a second message destined for the second node; determine that the second message does not employ the route specified by the VRT; and fail to forward the second message to the second node.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: John Keith Fullbright, Mark Beaupre, Lee Gates
