We are being offered a new connectivity service: our WAN provider will
supply an "IP cloud" instead of WAN links. Our peripheral routers, which up
to now were connected to a WAN cloud via serial interface, will connect to
an Ethernet interface belonging to the IP cloud. 

The IP cloud is a black box as far as I am concerned. It consists of a mesh
of routers interconnected via WAN links using private (illegal) IP
addresses; I don't want to manage it, nor does my service provider want me
to. The only IP thing which we have in common are the IP addresses of my
routers' ETH interfaces, which were allocated to us by the supplier, from a
range of his private address pool.

Is there a way by which I can discover and manage my routers at the other
end of the IP cloud?
