Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention generally relate to interconnection of overlay networks. The communication device is provided. The device comprises a first VTEP coupled to a first overlay network and a second VTEP coupled to a second overlay network, wherein the first and second overlay networks use a same virtual network identifier. The first VTEP is configured to receive, from the first overlay network, an address resolution request for a destination VM in the second overlay network, wherein the address resolution request contains an IP address of the destination VM. The second VTEP is configured to forward the address resolution request to the second overlay network, receive the address resolution response from the second overlay network and obtain the endpoint information associated with the destination VM from the address resolution response. The first VTEP is further configured to send the endpoint information to the first overlay network. In this way, the endpoint information associated with VMs in different overlay networks using the same virtual network identifier may be forwarded between the overlay networks.

Claim (Index 42):
The apparatus of  claim 35 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:\n receive an internet protocol packet from the first overlay network, the internet protocol packet being generated by encapsulating a media access control (MAC) broadcast packet; and forward the internet protocol packet to the second overlay network.
