Zusammenfassung:Methods for creating an ultra-lightweight multi-tenant network virtualization model by augmenting an OSI layer 4 tuple (protocol, source IP address, destination IP address, source port, destination port) with additional private gateway-specific source and destination augmented addresses. A unique OpenVPN Augmented Address (OAA) may be created and assigned to each device on a network such as a mesh-linked system. This OAA may form part of a packet shim created with routing path information for both the source and the destination resources. Once created, the shim may be inserted into a packet header for transmission. The packet shim operates to establish a communications session on layer 4 (Transport) between the requestor and the target resource which is intermediate-device agnostic. Further disclosed are methods for intelligently routing domain-level traffic to VPNs including augmenting a DNS with VPN information associated with human-memorable domain names.
