In one embodiment, a method includes logging in, by an edge router, a first tenant from a network management system, and determining, by the edge router, a mapping of a tenant identifier associated with the first tenant to a controller identifier associated with a controller. The method further includes reserving, by the edge router, a port number in the kernel for the first tenant, and inserting, by the edge router, a tenant identifier into the first control packet. The method also includes transmitting, by the edge router, the first control packet to the controller via the encrypted control connection during the first peer-to-peer session. The first peer-to-peer session shares an encryption control connection with the second peer-to-peer session. 在一个实施例中，一种方法包括由边缘路由器从网络管理系统登陆第一租户，以及由边缘路由器确定与第一租户相关联的租户标识符到与控制器相关联的控制器标识符的映射。该方法还包括由边缘路由器在内核中为第一租户预留端口号，以及由边缘路由器将租户标识符插入到第一控制分组中。该方法还包括由边缘路由器在第一对等会话期间经由加密控制连接将第一控制分组传送到控制器。第一对等会话与第二对等会话共享加密控制连接。
