Patent ID: 6996628

Claim:
A method for enabling a virtual network between a first processor and a second processor using at least one additional processor separate from the first processor and the second processor, the method comprising the steps of: determining, at the at least one additional processor, a first virtual address and a first base address for the first processor such that the first virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the first base address is routable through a base network; determining, at the at least one additional processor, a second virtual address and a second base address for the second processor such that the second virtual address is routable through the virtual network and the second base address is routable through the base network; providing, by the at least one additional processor, the first virtual address and the first base address to the first processor and the second virtual address and the second base address to the second processor; and enabling the virtual network over the base network based on the first virtual address, the first base address, the second virtual address, and the second base address.
