    Abstract: A method is provided one example embodiment and includes receiving a packet including a source /32 address and a destination /32 address. The source /32 address can indicate an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a source host that sent the packet. The destination /32 address can indicate an IP address of a destination host to which the packet is destined. The method may also include looking up the destination /32 address and the source /32 address in a Forwarding Information Base/adjacency (FIB)/(ADJ) table implemented in a hardware of a leaf switch in a network. Additionally, the method may include adding the source /32 address and corresponding adjacency information to the FIB/ADJ table if the destination /32 address is found in the FIB/ADJ table, and the source /32 address is not found in the FIB/ADJ table. The method may also include forwarding the packet to the destination host.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for optimizing storage of address information in switch device databases. A control packet is received from a source host. An address associated with a host is determined. The address comprises a first and second address component. The first address component is stored in a first database and is mapped to an index value that is stored in the first database. The index value is also stored in a second database along with the second address component. The first database may also be examined to determine whether the first address component is stored in the first database. If the first address component is stored in the first database, the index value mapped to the first address component is retrieved. The second database is examined to determine whether the index value and the second address component are stored in the second database.

    Abstract: A method for optimizing next-hop table space in a dual-homed network environment is provided and includes associating an Emulated Switch Internet Protocol (ES-IP) address and an Emulated Switch Media Access Control (ES-MAC) address with an Emulated Switch Identifier (ES-ID) of an emulated switch connected to a dual-homed host having a host IP address in a network environment, and populating a host route table with a mapping between the host IP address and the ES-IP address. The method further includes receiving an outgoing packet with the host IP address as a destination address, determining the ES-IP address corresponding to the host IP address, sending out an ARP request for a MAC address corresponding to the ES-IP address, receiving the ES-MAC address, determining the ES-ID corresponding to the ES-MAC address, encapsulating the outgoing packet with the ES-ID, and forwarding the packet.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for providing interoperable heterogenous networks. A method comprises configuring a logical network with a first network and a second network; receiving a request message from a source device by the first border device in the first network, wherein the request message includes a related to a media access control (MAC) address associated with a destination device in the second network; sending a proxy message to the second border device based on the request message, the proxy message having a source address that identifies an external IP address associated with the first border device; receiving a response message including the MAC address of the destination device, wherein the response message is addressed to the external address of the first border device; and sending a border gateway protocol (BGP) update including the MAC address of the destination device.

    Abstract: Techniques for a configuration change service to transition a network controller into a frozen state, causing network users submitting configuration changes associated with the network to refrain from deploying the configuration changes for a period of time are disclosed. A first user configured as a stager role may submit data representing a proposed change to the configuration change service, where the proposed change may be stored in association with a list of proposed changes. A second user configured as an approver role may submit data representing an approval or disapproval of the proposed changes to the configuration change service, where a modified list of proposed changes may be generated. A third user configured as an administrator role may submit data configured to transition the controller to an unfrozen state and/or deploy the changes included in the list of proposed changes to the network controller, subsequent to the period of time.
