In some implementations, a first network device may transmit data to a second network device based on the data being associated with a media access control (MAC) address that is associated with an access port of the second network device, wherein the first network device and the second network device are included in a plurality of network devices interconnected by first tunnels associated with a forwarding plane and second tunnels associated with a control plane. The first network device may determine that the MAC address is associated with an access port of the first network device and may transmit, via one or more first tunnels, a notification indicating that the MAC address is associated with the first network device. The first network device may transmit, via one or more second tunnels, a notification indicating that the MAC address is associated with the first network device.
