ACCESS CONTROL AND ROUTING OPTIMIZATION AT A CLOUD HEADEND IN A CLOUD-BASED SECURE ACCESS SERVICE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract: in one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a method that includes receiving, at an edge component of a cloud-based secure access service, a corresponding access designation for each of a plurality of endpoints, each access designation specifying a type of access a corresponding endpoint has to remaining ones of the plurality of endpoints and other accessible network resources; based on the corresponding access designation of each of the plurality of endpoints, updating a routing table at the edge component, to include routing information for a subset of the plurality of endpoints having access to at least one other endpoint of the plurality of endpoints or to the other accessible network resources; and enabling routing of network traffic, via the cloud-based secure access service, between any number of the plurality of endpoints based at least in part on the routing table.
