Abstract
Systems and methods that provide a unified infrastructure over layer-2 networks are provided. A first frame is generated by an end point. The first frame comprises a proxy payload, a proxy association header and a frame header relating to a control proxy element. The first frame is sent over a first network to the control proxy element. A second frame is generated by the control proxy element. The second frame comprises the proxy payload and a proxy header. The first and second frames correspond to different layer-2 protocols. The control proxy element sends the second frame over a second network employing the layer-2 protocol of the second frame.
