METHOD FOR EXTENDING BRIDGE DOMAIN OF OVERLAY SDN NETWORK

摘要

Provided are method for extending a bridge domain of a first overlay SDN network to a second overlay SDN network using a repeater, the method comprising registering a relay switch of repeater as a switch included in first overlay SDN network and second overlay SDN network; generating a tunnel which connects relay switch with switches included in first overlay SDN network; generating a tunnel which connects the relay switch with switches included in second overlay SDN network; receiving route information for being connected to a virtual machine (VM) belonging to first overlay SDN network, from a first SDN control unit of first overlay SDN network; converting route information; and transmitting converted route information to second SDN control unit.

1. A method for extending a bridge domain of a first overlay software defined network (SDN) network to a second overlay SDN network using a repeater, the method comprising:
registering a relay switch of the repeater as a switch of both the first overlay SDN network and the second overlay SDN network; generating tunnels which connect the relay switch with first switches of the first overlay SDN network and second switches of the second overlay SDN network; receiving first route information to a first virtual machine (VM) within the first overlay SDN network, from a first SDN control unit; converting the first route information to a second route information; and transmitting the second route information to a second SDN control unit.
