    Abstract: A cloud service provider's enterprise edge device and network interface are configured to establish a single tunnel connection with a remote server for delivering data packets to multiple distinct virtual machines on the remote server. The provider's enterprise edge device stores the network address information for each virtual machine and remote server to attach the destination network addresses to the data packet for transmission to the appropriate virtual machine on the remote server. Utilizing a single tunnel to transmit data packets to multiple virtual machines increases scalability at the provider's enterprise edge device and reduces system resources compared to other implementations in which the provider uses a tunnel for each virtual machine on a remote server.
