Abstract
A Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller is described associated with a local domain and configured to control remote services in a remote domain. The SDN controller includes a network interface communicatively coupled to the remote domain; a processor communicatively coupled to the network interface; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to, subsequent to instantiation of a logical switch in a device in the remote domain, establish a control channel with the logical switch, wherein the control channel flows over the local domain and the remote domain, and control the logical switch in the remote domain via the control channel.
