1. A computing method comprising:

  • receiving a network packet arriving at a first network interface of a first node of an underlying network, the underlying network comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes,communicating at least the packet and an identifier of the first network interface to a decision engine,determining how the packet should be processed based on a simulation by the decision engine of a traversal of a virtual network topology including a plurality of virtual network devices, wherein the decision engine communicates with a shared database accessible from the underlying network that stores the virtual network topology and virtual device configurations for the plurality of virtual network devices; and

    processing the packet based upon the simulation.
