ABSTRACT:
A Totally Stubby Edge (TSE) participates in a cloud under the condition that the TSE may select paths for frames that the TSE introduces to the cloud, but may not transit frames between nodes in the cloud. The edge submits, to an administrator of the cloud, a request to join the cloud. If the administrator allows the request, then the edge is given access to the address tables that define the structure of the cloud, and may insert itself into the structure. The edge may use the address tables to select paths for frames that the edge introduces to the cloud. Normally path decisions are made by devices that the administrator trusts and controls. However, since the TSE selects paths for its own frames but does not transit frames between other nodes in the cloud, the TSE may select paths even if it is untrusted by the administrator.
