Apparatuses and methods enable connecting tunnels channeling data flow from a user terminal and to a mobile network through a virtual switch in a network device which is configured to provide a service by processing data in the data flow. A method performed by a device having one or more processors includes establishing a first tunnel between the device and a node of the mobile network, and a second tunnel between the device and another network device of the mobile network, the first tunnel and the second tunnel operating according to Internet protocols. The method further includes connecting the first tunnel to the second tunnel using a virtual switch running on the device, and connecting a virtual machine running on the device to the virtual switch, the virtual machine being configured to provide a service by processing data in the data flow.

Apparatuses and methods related to connecting tunnels through a virtual switch

A method, computer environment and cloud server configured to facilitate communication among plural networks established in the cloud server. The cloud server () includes hardware components () configured to process and store information; a hypervisor () configured to run on the hardware components () and also configured to provide a virtual platform in a kernel space (); a first virtual machine () running on the virtual platform in a user space (); a first L2aaS network () connected to the first virtual machine (), the first L2aaS network () being located in the kernel space (); a second virtual machine () running on the virtual platform in the user space (); a second L2aaS network () connected to the second virtual machine (), the second L2aaS network () being located in the kernel space (); and a virtual router () located in the kernel space () and connected to the first L2aaS network () and the second L2aaS network (). The virtual router () is configured to provide router functionality between the first and second L2aaS networks ().
