Abstract:
An example method to provide communication between a first computer in a first computer network and a second computer in a second computer network is disclosed. The method includes aliasing the second computer's address in the second computer network to a loopback interface of a third computer in the first computer network and establishing a tunnel between the third computer and a fourth computer in the second computer network. Establishing the tunnel includes configuring the fourth computer to forward traffic received from the tunnel to the second computer. The method further includes configuring routing in the first computer network to direct traffic destined for the second computer network to the third computer, and configuring the first computer to transmit packets destined for the second computer with the second computer's address in the second computer network.
