Abstract
The following description is directed to configuring gateways in computer networks. For example, a method includes receiving a first request from a client associated with a configurable network. The first request can request associating a set of network addresses assigned to the configurable network to a gateway. A second request can be received from a client associated with the gateway. The second request can request accepting the association of the first request. It can be determined that the set of network addresses do not overlap with a network address space that is accessible using the gateway. Routing information can be generated for the gateway. The generated routing information can be used to configure the gateway for forwarding network packets between the client private network and the configurable network.
