Abstract:
Techniques are presented herein for distributing address information of host devices in a network. At a first router device, a packet is received from a first host device that is destined for a second host device. The first host device is dually-connected to the first router and a second router device. The second router device is part of a virtual port channel pair with the first router device. A message is sent to the second router device, the message indicating that the first host device is connected to the second router device. The packet is encapsulated with an overlay header and is sent to a third router device that is connected to the second host device. The encapsulated packet contains a Layer 2 address associated with the first host device and a Layer 3 address associated with the first host device.

Abstract:
An addressing redirection mechanism is initiated at a first networking device in a computing network in order to enable the first networking device to perform one or more distributed proxy addressing operations on behalf of a connected second networking device. An address request transmitted from a first host device to a second host device to obtain addressing information of the second host device is received at the first networking device, and the first networking device inspects the address request to identify addressing information for the first host device. The first networking device is configured to forward the addressing information for the first host device to the second networking device.
