System and method of providing segment routing as a service
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a configuration of an internet protocol environment;
receiving a parameter associated with a workload of a tenant;
based on the configuration and the parameter, generating tenant-defined layer 3 overlay segment routing rules that define how the workload of the tenant will route data in the internet protocol environment using segment routing; and
selecting a time to modify the tenant-defined layer 3 overlay segment routing rules and adjust the segment routing.

Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method of providing a segment routing as a service application. The method includes receiving a configuration of an internet protocol environment. The configuration can be a layer 3 configuration of a single cloud environment or even across multiple cloud environments. The configuration defines routing, forwarding, and paths in the environment between different entities such as virtual machines. The method includes receiving a parameter associated with a workload of a tenant. The parameter can be a service level agreement (i.e., a best bandwidth available), a pathway requirement, a parameter associated with specific workload, and so forth. Based on the configuration and the parameter, the method includes generating tenant-defined layer 3 overlay segment routing rules that define how the workload of the tenant will route data in the internet protocol environment using segment routing.

11. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a computer-readable medium, storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising; receiving a configuration of an internet protocol environment; receiving a parameter associated with a workload of a tenant; based on the configuration and the parameter, generating tenant-defined layer 3 overlay segment routing rules that define how the workload of the tenant will route data in the internet protocol environment using segment routing; and selecting a time to modify the tenant-defined layer 3 overlay segment routing rules and adjust the segment routing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
