Abstract
Symmetric networking techniques disclosed herein can be applied by gateway routers in cloud networks. The techniques can ensure that both outbound traffic received at a cloud from a branch device and return traffic directed from the cloud back to the branch device are processed by a same gateway router. The gateway router can use network address translation to insert IP addresses from an inside pool and an outside pool assigned to the router.
