Abstract:
1. A networking system configured to facilitate message exchange between an inside network and an outside network, the inside network connecting to inside devices and the outside network connecting to outside devices, the system comprising: an edge router configured to direct messages between the inside network and the outside network; one or more internal routers configured to direct messages between the edge router and one or more inside devices; wherein the edge router and the internal routers each include routing tables configured to control where messages sourced from the inside devices are directed over the inside network as a function of destination addresses associated therewith, the routing tables effectively dividing the inside network into a first network for routing messaging having a first type of destination address and a second network for routing messages having a second type of destination address, the inside device sourcing each message selecting the destination address to be one of the first and second types to effect routing each message over one of the first and second networks, the first and second networks being overlaid such that both of the first and second networks share a common infrastructure associated with the edge router and the internal routers to facilitate transporting the messages; and wherein the first type of destination address is a unique local address (ULA), whereby the corresponding messages are referred to as inside messages, and the second type of destination address is a global unique address (GUA), whereby the corresponding messages are referred to as outside messages.
