The first thing that springs to mind is mobile ip. I am pretty sure there is at least one open source implementation available. If you consider the gateway that the connection is currently established on as the "home address", and the gateway with better metrics that you are transferring to the "attachment point", then mobile ip seems to fit the bill. Granted, you still have a less than optimal path for the connection overall (since mobile ip is basically just redirection). However, at least more of the traffic can be through paths off-cloud, which are presumably better, and all on-cloud traffic can be using the best available paths. You also have the nice benefit of all connections being totally mobile within the cloud. Of course this assumes your software in managing the cloud side of all gateways. Is this an incorrect assumption (or perhaps an undesirable one)?
