Abstract
A novel method of providing virtual private access to a software defined data center (SDDC) is provided. The SDDC uses distributed VPN tunneling to allow external access to application services hosted in the SDDC. The SDDC includes host machines for providing computing and networking resources and a VPN gateway for providing external access to those resources. The host machines that host the VMs running the applications that VPN clients are interested in connecting performs the VPN encryption and decryption. The VPN gateway does not perform any encryption and decryption operations. The packet structure is such that the VPN gateway can read the IP address of the VM without decrypting the packet.
