Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a network device, a first data structure from a first computing device, the first data structure including an identifier (ID) of a virtual network, an ID of the first computing device, and an ID of a second computing device; identifying the second computing device as a destination of the first data structure based on the ID of the second computing device; authenticating, by the network device, the first data structure when it is determined that the first computing device and the second computing device correspond to the same virtual network; and performing at least one of modification of the first data structure by replacing the ID of the second computing device with a locally administered ID of the second computing device, or modification of the first data structure by removing the ID of the same virtual network from the first data structure, and communicating, by the network device, the first data structure to the second computing device, before communicating, by the network device, the modified first data structure to the second computing device.
