Abstract: A traffic flow based map cache refresh may be provided. A computing device may receive a dropped packet message when a packet associated with a flow having a destination and a source was dropped before it reached the destination. Next, in response to receiving the dropped packet message, a map request message may be sent to a Map Server (MS). In response to sending the map request message, a map response message may be received indicating an updated destination for the flow. A map cache may then be refreshed for the source of the flow based on the updated destination from the received map response message.

Abstract: Services with policy control may be provided. A computing device may receive registration information associated with a border device. The registration information may comprise information identifying a service provided by a server associated with the border device, information identifying the border device, and policies associated with the service. Then an address for the server may be determined. Next a request may be received comprising the information identifying the service provided by the server. In response to receiving the request comprising the information identifying the service provided by the server, the address for the server, the information identifying the border device, and the policies associated with the service may be provided.

Abstract: Boot server support in an enterprise fabric network may be provided. A border device may forward, to a configuration server, a discovery message associated with a client device and the border device may forward, to a pre-boot server, the discovery message associated with a client device. The border device may then encapsulate, in response to receiving a reply to the discovery message from the configuration server and in response to receiving a reply to the discovery message from the pre-boot server, the reply to the discovery message from the pre-boot server using a Routing Locator (RLOC) from the reply to the discovery message from the configuration server. The encapsulated reply to the discovery message from the pre-boot server may include boot information. The border device may then forward the encapsulated reply to the discovery message from the pre-boot server to an edge device associated with the client device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for discovering silent hosts in a software-defined network and directing traffic to the silent hosts in a scalable and targeted manner include determining interfaces of a fabric device that are connected to respective one or more endpoints, where the fabric device is configured to connect the endpoints to a network fabric of the software-defined network. At least a first interface is identified, where an address of a first endpoint connected to the first interface is not available at the fabric device. A first notification is transmitted to a control plane of the software-defined network based on identifying the first interface, where the control plane may create a flood list which includes the fabric device. Traffic intended for the first endpoint from the network fabric is received by the fabric device can be based on the flood list.
