Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling access to dedicated resources in a virtual network using top of rack switches are disclosed. A method includes a virtual filtering platform encapsulating at least one packet, received from a virtual machine, to generate at least one encapsulated packet comprising a virtual network identifier (VNI). The method further includes a TOR switch: (1) receiving the at least one encapsulated packet and decapsulating the at least one encapsulated packet to create at least one decapsulated packet, (2) using the VNI to identify a virtual routing and forwarding artifact to determine a virtual local area network interface associated with the dedicated hardware portion, and (3) transmitting the at least one decapsulated packet to the dedicated hardware portion based on at least one policy provided by a controller, where the at least one policy comprises information related to a customer of the service provider.
