Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for configuring network groups without software-based processing and management. A method includes: transmitting a topology request from a first leaf node to a first spine node; in response to receiving a network topology reply from a second leaf node, generating a network topology identifying a group of leaf nodes, the network topology reply including network information associated with the second leaf node, and in response to a request to send a message from a first network node connected to the first leaf node to a second network node connected to the second leaf node, transmitting the message to the second leaf node based on the network information from the network topology reply. In some aspects, the first spine node or a second spine node are configured to receive the message and transmit the message to the second leaf node.
