摘要： In general, this disclosure describes a programmable network platform for dynamically programming a cloud exchange to provide a layer three (L3) routing instance as a service to customers of the cloud exchange. In one example, a cloud exchange comprises an L3 network located within a data center and configured with an L3 routing instance for an enterprise; and for the L3 routing instance, respective first and second attachment circuits for first and second cloud service provider networks co-located within the data center, wherein the L3 routing instance stores a route to a subnet of the second cloud service provider network to cause the L3 routing instance to forward packets, received from the first cloud service provider network via the first attachment circuit, to the second cloud service provider network via the second attachment circuit.

摘要： In general, this disclosure describes a virtual router configured to enable multi-cloud service provider connectivity. The multi-cloud service provider connectivity may enable network function virtualization (NFV) services to be applied to network traffic such as enterprise traffic. The NFV services may be offsite, cloud-based NFV services or data center provider-hosted NFV services, for example. In one example, a system comprises at least one computing device deployed to a data center by a data center provider and configured by the data center provider to execute a virtual router, wherein the virtual router is configurable by a customer to route packet flows to one or more servers that host network function virtualization services for application of the network function virtualization services to the packet flows.
