Abstract:
One aspect provides a method and system for managing address resolution requests in a network. During operation, a gateway of the network advertises a route for sending address resolution requests and determines whether a cached entry corresponding to an address resolution request received via the route exists in a neighbor table. In response to determining that the cached entry exists, the gateway responds to the address resolution request based on the cached entry; in response to determining that the cached entry does not exist, the gateway replicates the address resolution request to edge devices in the network, thereby facilitating discovery of a target host corresponding to the address resolution request.
