Abstract
A cloud exchange platform includes policy-based routing. Labeling (or tagging) on a multi-tenant virtual private network (VPN) facilitates recognition of active routes for a flow. The tags can be implemented such that flows are treated as having active routes across a multi-tenant VPN to enable a customer to treat flows as having an identifiable active route through the multi-tenant VPN. Thus, for example, BGP can be used as a generalized signaling protocol to carry information about flows through a multi-tenant VPN.
