Abstract
During a communication session established with a customer-premise routing information source, a route signaling node of a multi-network-segment gateway of a cloud provider network obtains respective sets of labeled routing information pertaining to multiple customer-side network segments of a customer. The route signaling node propagates the routing information to data plane nodes of the gateway. The data plane nodes utilize the routing information to forward data packets to destinations associated with particular customer-side network segments.
