VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK INTERWORKING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A software-defined network (SDN) controller comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;
obtaining a control message that is advertised from a border gateway protocol-virtual private local area network service (BGP-VPLS) node;
parsing for first information in the control message, the first information comprising control information associated with routing data messages to the BGP-VPLS node; and
converting the first information to second information, the second information comprising control information for forwarding Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) data messages to the BGP-VPLS node.

Abstract
Methods and systems may use a software-defined network (SDN) based approach for interworking different types of nodes. In an example, an SDN controller may include components that assist in building pseudowires across Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) nodes and Border gateway protocol-virtual private local area network (LAN) service (BGP-VPLS) nodes.
