    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for implementing network address translation as a distributed service over the nodes of a logical network fabric, such as a software-defined network fabric. A method includes registering, by an edge node of a network, an IP address of a client device. The method further includes forwarding, by the edge node, the registered IP address to a control plane of the network. The method further includes checking, by the control plane, a network address translation policy. The method further includes recording, by the control plane, translations between the registered IP address and an allocated IP address in a translation table, each of the translations being related to the edge node. The method further includes returning, by the control plane, the translations between the registered IP address and the allocated IP address to the edge node.

    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for enabling interoperability between data plane learning endpoints and control plane learning endpoints in an overlay network environment. An exemplary method for managing network traffic in the overlay network environment includes receiving network packets in an overlay network from data plane learning endpoints and control plane learning endpoints, wherein the overlay network extends Layer 2 network traffic over a Layer 3 network; operating in a data plane learning mode when a network packet is received from a data plane learning endpoint; and operating in a control plane learning mode when the network packet is received from a control plane learning endpoint. Where the overlay network includes more than one overlay segment, the method further includes operating as an anchor node for routing inter-overlay segment traffic to and from hosts that operate behind the data plane learning endpoints.

    Abstract: A Location/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP) mapping server, including: a network interface for communicating with a LISP-enabled network; a mapping database; an extranet policy table; and a shared subnetwork mapping engine (SSME), including at least a hardware platform, configured to: receive a map request from a first endpoint serviced by a first xTR, the first endpoint on a first subnetwork, the map request for a second endpoint; determine that the second endpoint is not a member of the first subnetwork; query the extranet policy table to identify a second subnetwork that the first subnetwork subscribes to, and to determine that the second endpoint is a member of the second subnetwork; and provide to the first subnetwork a routing locator (RLOC) of an xTR servicing the second endpoint.
