Description
Cloud federation is receiving increasing attention due to the benefits of resilience and locality it brings to cloud providers and users. I present an approach to cloud network federation based on direct cloud-to-cloud agreements. The solution uses multi-path proxies able to utilize the multiple uplinks cloud data centers typically have. Bandwidth of interconnection and resilience are improved without the need for additional fail-over mechanisms.
