Abstract:
A device may receive, via a first message, first route information for directing network traffic for a network. The first route information may identify a media access control (MAC) route corresponding to a MAC address associated with a host device connecting to a subnet of the network. The first route information may fail to include Internet protocol (IP)/MAC binding information associated with the host device. The device may transmit a request for IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device. The device may receive a response, to the request for IP/MAC binding information, identifying the IP/MAC binding information. The device may advertise, via a second message, second route information for directing network traffic for the network based on receiving the response identifying the IP/MAC binding information. The second route information may identify the IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device.
