Abstract
A network cloud software is provided which is configured to enable operation of multiple hardware network elements as a single routing or switching entity. The network cloud software is used in a distributed manner and provides layers of synchronization and management to allow creation of a network cloud cluster that can start with a single white-box that acts as a stand-alone network device and then scale it to a cluster of tens of hardware elements that would still appear to the external user as a single entity. The network cloud software may also implement mediation layer (HAL) that allows the use of a multi-vendor hardware types by the same network cloud software that is capable of running on a number of different hardware types, while to the external user they will all be seen as devices that have the same functionality and the same network behavior.
