Abstract:
A network management method includes a controller receiving an underlay network identifier and a network segment identifier. The underlay network identifier and network segment identifier can be associated with entries in a forwarding information base and border gateway protocol speakers may be deployed in association with the entries. A virtual network can be associated with the underlay network and network traffic can be forwarded to the virtual network according to the entries.
