Abstract
In one embodiment, a composite Network of Networks is created out of a set otherwise separate constituent networks by a system that includes an operations station and one or more gateways. The operations station is configured to transmit a set of policies for processing data packets travelling through a composite network, where the composite network includes two or more independent constituent networks. The gateways are each communicatively connected between two or more attached constituent networks. A first gateway is configured to receive a data packet from a first constituent network attached to the first gateway; determine one or more real-time network situational awareness characteristics; process the data packet by applying the policies to the data packet based at least in part on the network situational awareness characteristics; and transmit the data packet to a second network attached to the first gateway and distinct from the first constituent network.
