Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a software defined network (SDN) having a sharded control plane. The SDN may include a host device and a sharded control plane. The sharded control plane may include a first controller and a second controller sharded by one or more dimensions. The first controller and the second controller may be configured to process requests received from the first host device based on their respective sharded one or more dimensions. The one or more dimensions may be networks or functions.

Sharded SDN control plane with authorization

The present disclosure provides for full mesh connectivity between all endpoints in a VPC, including virtual machines, load balancers, routers, interconnects, virtual private networks, etc. Connectivity may be extended to on-premises devices, such as those connected via VPN and Interconnects. The connectivity is high performance, reliable, and secure.

Full mesh proxyless connectivity between networks

A method for a proxyless protocol includes intercepting, from a client, a first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection request requesting to establish a TCP connection between the client and a proxy for routing data to a destination server. The request includes client information and a first sequence number. The method also includes transmitting, to the destination server, a second TCP connection request to establish a TCP connection between the client and the destination server. The second request includes a second sequence number less than the first sequence number. The method also includes intercepting, from the destination server, an acknowledgment message indicating acknowledgment of the second TCP connection request. The method also includes transmitting, to the destination server, a proxy protocol header message with the client information. The method also includes generating a new acknowledgment message using the first TCP connection request and transmitting, to the client, the new acknowledgment message.
