Abstract
Embodiments are directed to managing secure communication between a plurality of node computers over a network. If overlay networks for node computers are provided for communicating between the node computers, a mesh network may be configured. If a node computer that may be associated with the overlay networks sends a communication to other node computers also associated with the overlay networks, a gateway computer associated with the node computer may perform actions to process the communication. The gateway computer may select an overlay network based on the node computer. Target gateway computers associated with the other node computers may be determined based on the overlay network and the mesh network. Physical paths from the gateway computer to the target gateway computers may be determined. The gateway computer may send the communication to the target gateway computers over the physical paths and then to the other node computers.
