Abstract
What is disclosed is providing a multi-tenant virtual private network (VPN) to a plurality of tenants, wherein tenant VPNs are associated with respective private networks; identifying a first subnet that makes up a portion of a first private network associated with a first tenant of the plurality of tenants; translating the first subnet into a first multi-tenant VPN address translation (MT-NAT) subnet that is used as part of a first tenant VPN to extend the first private network across a public network; identifying a second subnet that makes up a portion of the first private network, that is not contiguous with the first subnet, and that has not been translated into the first MT-NAT; and translating the second subnet and a proper subnet of the first subnet into a second MT-NAT subnet without impacting subnet fragmentation of the first private network. Also disclosed are systems and methods for this.
