Label based policy enforcement
Abstract:
Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising receiving a data packet originating from a first device and intended for a second device, wherein the first device and the first access device belong to a first branch of a Wide Area Network (WAN) using a MPLS overlay and the second device belongs to a second branch of the WAN. The method includes encapsulating the data packet in VXLAN including a VXLAN label identifying a role type and transmitting the data packet to a first core device. The method includes determining an MPLS label corresponding to the role type and transmitting the data packet over the MPLS overlay to a second core device belonging to the second branch of the WAN. The method includes translating the MPLS label into the VXLAN label and transmitting the data packet including the VXLAN label to a second access device for an enforcement action.
