    Abstract: Techniques for virtualizing tenant transport interfaces configured to implement per-tenant network routing attribute differentiation in each tenant overlay of a multisite wide area network (WAN) and share the virtual transport interfaces between multi-tenant edge (MTE) devices providing transport services to tenant devices based on a defined tenant tier model. A Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller may receive a physical transport interface and/or a device type associated with a tenant device. The SDN controller may determine a virtual transport interface for the tenant device based on a tier associated with the tenant. MTE device(s) may utilize the physical transport interface to establish sessions with other MTE device(s) in the WAN. The virtual transport interface may be utilized by MTE devices to implement and/or enforce network routing attributes when forwarding network traffic associated with the tenant via the sessions established between the MTE devices through the WAN.

    Abstract: Route exchange in a plurality of network controller appliances on a per-tenant basis is disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a network management system and at a first network controller appliance, a designation of at least two tenants to be hosted on the first network controller appliance, the first network controller appliance being one of a plurality of network controller appliances in a SD-WAN; sending, from the first network controller appliance to other network controller appliances of the plurality of network controller appliances, a tenant list query message to obtain a corresponding tenant list of each of the other network controller appliances; and receiving a corresponding response from each of the other network controller appliances indicating the corresponding tenant list of each of the other network controller appliances, the corresponding response being used to update the tenant list on the first network controller appliance.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes providing a first profile to a plurality of edge routers of the SD-WAN, the plurality of edge routers operable to interface a plurality of devices to the SD-WAN. The first profile enables the plurality of edge routers to discover which devices of the plurality of devices support a first application The method includes receiving, from one or more of the edge routers, information indicating which devices of the plurality of devices support the first application and building a first application fabric based on the information indicating which devices of the plurality of devices support the first application.
