According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an approach is provided in which a policy module receives data that is initiated by a first virtual machine and has a destination at a second virtual machine. The policy module selects a policy that corresponds to sending the data from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine. The policy includes one or more logical references to one or more virtual networks, and does not include a physical reference to a physical entity located on a physical network. In turn, the policy module encapsulates the data with a physical path translation that is based upon the selected policy, and sends the encapsulated data over the physical network to a second policy module that corresponds to the second virtual machine.
