Abstract
In one example, a network element in a first network receives a network packet including a first security group identifier. The network element identifies the first security group identifier, determines that the first security group identifier is hierarchically correlated with a second security group identifier, and inserts the second security group identifier into the network packet. The network element forwards the network packet including the second security group identifier.
