Summary:In one embodiment, a method includes onboarding, 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 also includes reserving, by the edge router, a port number in a kernel for the first tenant and inserting, by the edge router, the tenant identifier into a first control packet. The method further includes communicating, by the edge router, the first control packet to the controller via an encrypted control connection during a first peering session. The first peering session shares the encrypted control connection with a second peering session.
