Briefly, embodiments described herein include those for managing a network comprising a plurality of logical broadcast domains, wherein the network may be overlaid on another network.

Managing a network overlaid on another network

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses of virtual deployment of network-related features are disclosed.

Deployment of network-related features over cloud network

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses are described for network management via a graphical user interface (GUI).

Management of a network via a GUI of user relationships

Communications between broadcast domains are described. In an embodiment, a broadcast domain configuration of one broadcast domain is generated and transmitted for receipt by a device in another broadcast domain.

Transmitting broadcast domain configurations

This relates to connecting a network of logical broadcast domains to the Internet. In an embodiment, selected signal packets are transmitted between two logical broadcast domains via a tunnel server. Outbound signal packets are communicated to the Internet via network address translation as to the outbound signal packets which are different than the selected signal packets.

Connecting a cloud network to the internet

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses of overlaying a secure, connected, flexible networking structure, such as on cloud infrastructure, are described.

Private networks overlaid on cloud infrastructure

Briefly, methods and apparatuses are described that link two or more logical broadcast domains.

Linking logical broadcast domains

Briefly, methods and/or apparatuses for implicit traffic engineering, such as for the Internet, are described.

Implicit traffic engineering

People centric management of cloud networks via GUI

Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment, a method of managing, without human intervention, at least one private network is disclosed. For example, managing the at least one private network includes connecting the at least one private network to the Internet. Furthermore, the at least one private network communicates selected signal packets from at least one network device in one of at least two separate logical broadcast domains transmitted to at least one network device in another of at least two separate logical broadcast domains as if the logical broadcast domains are not separate. The selected signal packets are transmitted between the network devices of the at least two separate logical broadcast domains via a tunnel server.
