Abstract
An Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment method in a cloud-based multi-tenant system for assigning unique IP addresses to a plurality of client devices of a plurality of users. Network traffic including a data request from a client device to a cloud provider via an ingress tunnel is monitored by a mid-link server. A user of the client device is identified from the data request. A policy is identified based on the tenant of the user and a plurality of applications for the client device. An IP address is assigned to the client device of the user based on the policy. Each client device is assigned a unique IP address. The network traffic egresses via an egress tunnel from the mid-link server. The data request is routed from the client device to the cloud provider using the IP address of the client device.
