Abstract
A computer-implemented method for interfacing software-defined networks with non-software-defined networks may include (1) receiving at least one packet via software-defined network at a switching device, (2) searching a set of flow entries that collectively direct network traffic within the software-defined network for a flow entry that corresponds to the packet, (3) determining that the packet is destined for a non-software-defined network based at least in part on the search, and (4) forwarding the packet to the non-software-defined network via a logical tunnel that interfaces the software-defined network with the non-software-defined network by connecting a virtual port within the software-defined network to a virtual port within the non-software-defined network. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
