Unified connectivity layer

A single private-network routing fabric shared across multiple product surfaces (L4 proxy, L7 proxy, edge compute) so that private connectivity is defined once and consumed uniformly regardless of how traffic enters the platform.

Definition

Rather than each product (HTTP reverse proxy, TCP/UDP proxy, serverless compute) implementing its own private-network connectivity stack, a unified layer sits beneath all of them. This means:

• A private route defined for one product is automatically available to others.
• Network topology changes (adding a tunnel, migrating from IPsec to Mesh) propagate to all consumers without per-product reconfiguration.
• The customer has a single source of truth for how private traffic moves through their environment.
