Abstract
Systems and methods provide for end-to-end identity-aware routing across multiple administrative domains. A first ingress edge device of a second overlay network can receive a first encapsulated packet from a first egress edge device of a first overlay network. The first ingress edge device can de-encapsulate the first encapsulated packet to obtain an original packet and a user or group identifier. The first ingress edge device can apply a user or group policy matching the user or group identifier to determine a next hop for the original packet. The first ingress edge device can encapsulate the original packet and the user or group identifier to generate a second encapsulated packet. The first ingress edge device can forward the second encapsulated packet to the next hop.
