Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions. An example method for network virtualization can include providing, by a datacenter () having physical and/or virtual resources, a number of virtual tenant datacenters (tDatacenters), each tDatacenter being isolated from other tDatacenters. A tenant virtual local area network (T-VLAN) () is associated to each of the number of tDatacenters, and a value of an end-to-end invariant network virtual local area network (VLAN) identification (VID) label (T-VID) is associated to a particular T-VLAN (). A network packet associated with the particular T-VLAN () is modified at an edge network boundary () to include the T-VID. The T-VID is configured to have more than 4096 possible values.
