Abstract
A router architecture that facilitates cloud exchange point routing is disclosed. The architecture relies upon B-nodes to connect branch network to cloud, S-nodes to connect services, and V-nodes to connect cloud to cloud. The nodes can be essentially stateless with node configuration stored outside a router, which facilitates ripping and replacement of nodes. Multiple virtual private clouds can be implemented with respective pluralities of Kubernetes pods and a master Kubernetes cluster. Consumer premises equipment is coupled to a first virtual private cloud that forms a virtual extensible local area network with a second private cloud.
