Abstract
A system and method for routing data packets between different overlay networks is disclosed. The method includes receiving a DNS lookup request for a resource from a first computing device coupled to a first overlay network. The first overlay network comprises a first edge application gateway. The method includes identifying a second computing device coupled to a second overlay network comprising the resource requested. The second overlay network comprises a second edge application gateway. The method further includes identifying a third overlay network. The data packets generated at, the first computing device is transferred to the first edge application gateway. The data packets are then transmitted from the first edge application gateway and the second edge application gateway over the third overlay network. Further, the data packets are transferred from the second edge application gateway to the second computing device thereby establishing communication between computing devices in different overlay network.
