Abstract:

A system is provided and includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions for execution by the processor. The instructions include: accessing a resource via a first machine in a cloud-based network, where the first machine is a virtual machine; converting at the first machine an IPv4 packet to a IPv6 packet; while converting the IPv4 packet, embedding metadata in the IPv6 packet, where the metadata includes information identifying the first machine or a virtual network of the first machine; and transmitting the IPv6 packet to a second machine to limit access to the resource based on the information identifying the the first machine or the virtual network of the first machine. The second machine limits access to the resource based on the information identifying the at least one of the first machine or the virtual network of the first machine.
