    Abstract: A network node used to construct a topology-transparent zone (TTZ). The network node may obtain a TTZ identifier (ID) that is uniquely associated with a TTZ. Additionally, the network node may obtain a first link that couples the network node to a second network node that is also assigned the TTZ ID and a second link that couples the network node to a third network node that is not assigned the TTZ ID. The network node may generate a router information (RI) link-state advertisement (LSA) that indicates whether the network node is a TTZ edge node or a TTZ internal node and that indicates the TTZ associated with the TTZ. The network node may distribute the RI LSA to the second network node that is also assigned the TTZ ID using the first link.

    Abstract: A method of routing a data packet through a network comprises updating at least one router local forwarding table to include path IDs of network segments defining paths between network nodes and network function bit encoding/decoding information. In response to a data packet arriving at an ingress network node, an encapsulation header including a path ID identifying at least one network segment of an explicit routing path and a bit encoding specifying network functions to be performed on the data packet are encapsulated in unused portions of the source address and/or the destination address in the encapsulation header. A network node in the explicit routing path performs a network function encoded in the source address and/or the destination address of the encapsulation header of the data packet and forwards the data packet based on network function bit encoding/decoding and path ID information in the network node's local updated local forwarding table.

    Abstract: A method implemented in an inter-provider cloud rendezvous point (CRP-IP). The method includes receiving, via a receiver of the CRP-IP, a Register request from a first service provider cloud rendezvous point (CRP-SP) in a first service provider (SP) network domain, the Register request indicating a first portion of a virtual extensible network (VXN) with a global scope is hosted by the first SP network domain; and transmitting, via a transmitter of the CRP-IP, a Report message to a second CRP-SP in a second SP network domain hosting a second portion of the VXN, the Report message indicating the first portion of the VXN is hosted by the first SP network domain.
