==SYMMETRIC ROUTING IN VIRTUALIZED NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17484871 titled 'SYMMETRIC ROUTING IN VIRTUALIZED NETWORKS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application relates to source-based symmetric routing of network traffic in virtual networks. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The invention focuses on routing network traffic symmetrically across zones of a virtual network.
* It introduces a routing table for the source of network traffic in the virtual network.
* The routing table enables the source to route the network traffic symmetrically across different zones.
* This technology aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of network traffic routing in virtual networks.

==Potential Applications==
This technology has potential applications in various areas, including:

* Cloud computing: It can enhance the performance and reliability of virtual networks in cloud computing environments.
* Data centers: It can optimize network traffic routing within data centers, improving overall network efficiency.
* Virtual private networks (VPNs): It can be utilized to improve the routing of network traffic in VPNs, ensuring better connectivity and security.

==Problems Solved==
The technology addresses the following problems:

* Asymmetric routing: Traditional network routing often results in asymmetric paths for network traffic, leading to inefficiencies and potential issues.
* Inconsistent performance: Unequal distribution of network traffic across zones can cause inconsistent performance and bottlenecks.
* Lack of control: Without source-based symmetric routing, network administrators have limited control over the routing of network traffic in virtual networks.

==Benefits==
The technology offers the following benefits:

* Improved network efficiency: Symmetric routing ensures balanced distribution of network traffic, reducing congestion and improving overall performance.
* Enhanced reliability: By symmetrically routing network traffic, the technology minimizes the risk of single points of failure and improves network reliability.
* Greater control: The routing table provides network administrators with more control over the routing of network traffic, allowing for better management and optimization.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to source-based symmetric routing of network traffic in virtual networks. In particular, a source of network traffic in the virtual network is equipped with a routing table that causes the source of the network traffic to route the network traffic symmetrically across zones of the virtual network.
