Abstract

Systems and methods for ensuring multi-tenant isolation in a data center are provided. A switch, or virtualized switch, can be used to de-multiplex incoming traffic between a number of data centers tenants and to direct traffic to the appropriate virtual slice for an identified tenant. The switch can store tenant identifying information received from a master controller and packet forwarding rules received from at least one tenant controller. The packet handling rules are associated with a specific tenant and can be used to forward traffic to its destination.
