It examines some of the approaches for interconnecting workloads \& applications hosted in cloud DCs with enterprises' on-premises DCs \& branch offices. This document also describes some of the (network) problems that many enterprises face when they have workloads \& applications \& data split among hybrid data centers, especially for those enterprises with multiple sites that are already interconnected by VPNs (e.g. MPLS L2VPN/L3VPN) and leased lines. Current operational problems in the field are examined to determine whether there is a need for enhancements to existing protocols or whether a new protocol is necessary to solve them.}, }
