    Abstract: A system and method for fast roaming in one or more enterprise fabric network. The fast roaming involves correlation operations performed in one or more databases managed by control plane of the fabric network to update routing locator entries associated with L2-VNID and L3-VNID in one or more databases when a client moves from behind a first switch to behind a second switch. In some embodiments, the control plane finds the L3-VNID from the L2-VNID. The L3-VNID is used to search for all IP addresses corresponding to a client-MAC. At least new routing locator value that is used in the routing locator entries is provided to the first switch, the second switch, and border nodes associated with the fabric network.

    Abstract: The present technology provides a system, method, and computer-readable medium directed to dynamic implementation and management of multi-provider internet access featuring multiple access points across a multi-site overlay network fabric. An aspect of the technology is directed to the implementation of a common fabric-wide Virtual Network (VN) with a unique Internet Instance Identifier (Internet IID) that is dedicated to internet access traffic. Default access routes from multiple service providers (SP) are leaked into the VN with the Internet IID at exit points of the fabric using local Extranet policies. Internet-bound traffic generated from any point within the overlay fabric network is then redirected into the Internet IID, using remote Extranet policies. Internet-bound traffic, once in the Internet IID, follows the SP default access route(s) towards the exit points where SP specific access policies may be applied to the traffic which is then forwarded to the corresponding SP network.
