Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for management of network segments that cross geographic regions and/or other types of network divisions in a cloud-based network environment. Gateway may manage traffic across regions using routing metadata that includes a segment identifier. The gateways may also signal their routes across regions based on segment data, and implement the signaled routes using segment-based routing policies. Route selection may be performed using optimization data.
