Abstract

A system and method for topology construction in hybrid cloud environments includes receiving connection information from a local perimeter edge router of a local network that has a known topology and receiving connection information from a remote perimeter edge router of a remote network that is provided by a cloud provider. The received local perimeter edge router connection information is associated with the received remote perimeter edge router connection information. The associated connection information is normalized to a generic model, the generic model representing connections having different link layer policies in a generic way and the normalized connection information is applied to a network topology of the local network and the remote network.
