Abstract
Network-agnostic SDN-based cloud gateways are adapted for connecting a customer's SD cloud gateway to multiple cloud service providers (CSPs). A dynamic, on-demand, software defined, policy based cloud connectivity gateway is created for all kinds of networks and end points that can be used to connect to multiple CSPs at the same time from a single user interface. Network capacity on both the customer gateway and CSP connection points are adjusted through a user interface based on predefined policies such as automatic increasing of network connections based on actual cloud usage, limiting network capacity on a certain link based on time, application, and other conditions, and distributing traffic and changing the routing based on predetermined policies such as time of day, utilization, and performance.
