| Summary: | The purpose of the thesis is to provide layer 2 connectivity between two or more
isolated cloud environments using pure software virtual switches. So, in fact a VNF
has been developed. Switches are based on Open vSwitch, a proven solution for implementing software-based data planes. Goal is to package OVS in a way that can implement the gateway role for multiple data paths that may serve different purposes in
each cloud. The cloud provider used is Openstack. As each cloud topology is hidden behind a
NAT topology with just one external IP exposed, an overlay VPN connection is
needed. |
