Private Allocated Networks Over Shared Communications Infrastructure
First Claim
1. A method for implementing private allocated networks in a virtual infrastructure, the method comprising:
- creating a plurality of virtual switches in one or more hosts in the virtual infrastructure, wherein each port in the plurality of virtual switches is associated with a private allocated network (PAN) from a plurality of PANs, wherein intranet traffic within each PAN is not visible to nodes that are not connected to the each PAN; and
defining addressing mode tables for the intranet traffic within each PAN, wherein an entry in the addressing mode tables defines an addressing function for routing the intranet traffic between the virtual switches, wherein different types of addressing functions are supported by the virtual switches.

Abstract
Methods and systems for implementing private allocated networks in a virtual infrastructure are presented. One method operation creates virtual switches in one or more hosts in the virtual infrastructure. Each port in the virtual switches is associated with a private allocated network (PAN) from a group of possible PANs. In one embodiment, one or more PANs share the same physical media for data transmission. The intranet traffic within each PAN is not visible to nodes that are not connected to the each PAN. In another operation, the method defines addressing mode tables for the intranet traffic within each PAN. The entries in the addressing mode tables define addressing functions for routing the intranet traffic between the virtual switches, and different types of addressing functions are supported by the virtual switches.
