Abstract: In some examples, a method includes generating, by an interconnection platform for an exchange, an interconnection token representing authorization for an interconnection to or from a resource of the exchange, wherein the interconnection token comprises a unique identifier and token data for requesting and provisioning an interconnection using the resource. The method also includes outputting a first indication of the unique identifier of the interconnection token. The method also includes provisioning, by the interconnection platform, in response to receiving, from a customer of an exchange provider of the exchange, a second indication of the unique identifier of the interconnection token and based on the authorization, an interconnection in a network device of the exchange, the interconnection including, or connecting to or from, the resource.

Abstract: An example method includes receiving, from a customer system by a cloud exchange comprising processing circuitry, a request to communicatively couple a virtual gateway on network infrastructure of the cloud exchange to a network gateway communicatively coupled to a public network, the request including data indicating a public Internet Protocol (IP) address of the customer system, wherein the customer system is configured with a first connection communicatively coupling the customer system and the public network via a network service provider (NSP) that is separate from the cloud exchange; configuring, by the cloud exchange, a network route for a network gateway to the virtual gateway, the network gateway communicatively coupled to the public network; and providing, by the cloud exchange to the network gateway, routing information including the public IP address of the customer system to create a second connection communicatively coupling the customer system and the public network.

Abstract: In an example, a system includes a first cloud exchange network for a first cloud exchange, the first cloud exchange network located within a first data center and configured with a first dedicated virtual gateway, the first dedicated virtual gateway configured to interface with a first virtual connector to a customer network, with a second virtual connector to a first cloud service provider (CSP) network, and with a third virtual connector to a second CSP network. Network traffic among the customer network, the first CSP network, and the second CSP network is routed through the first dedicated virtual gateway. The first dedicated virtual gateway dynamically polices the network traffic based on an aggregate bandwidth subscription configured in the first cloud exchange network that limits a total bandwidth that may be used over the first cloud exchange network between the customer network, the first CSP network, and the second CSP network.
