Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A network device may receive a data structure, intended for a second computing device, from a first computing device. The network device may determine, based on the first data structure, whether the first computing device and the second computing device correspond to the same virtual network. When then the first computing device and the second computing device correspond to the same virtual network, the network device may communicate the data structure to the second computing device. However, when the first computing device and the second computing device do not correspond to the same virtual network, the network device may disregard the data structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 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…
