Abstract: A method for processing routes by a network device connected to a network includes: generating a programmable route based on a route programming request associated with a route between the network device and a request origin device; storing the programmable route in a temporary route storage in the network device; and upon receiving a data packet associated with the programmable route, permitting installation of the programmable route in a network device hardware of the network device.

Abstract: Multicast traffic in a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN). In some embodiments, a method is provided. The method includes registering a network device as a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) tunnel endpoint (VTEP) of a VXLAN. The VXLAN includes an overlay network and the overlay network is implemented on an underlay network. The method also includes receiving multicast traffic from the multicast source. The method further includes transmitting the multicast traffic to one or more multicast receivers using the underlay network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes determining that a network device should use an underlay multicast group associated with an overlay multicast group for multicast traffic. The underlay multicast group carries multicast traffic for the overlay multicast group. The overlay multicast group is associated with a virtual private network. The method also includes determining an underlay multicast group address for the underlay multicast group. The overlay multicast group is associated with an overlay multicast group address. A first portion of the underlay multicast group address is a function of the overlay multicast group address. The method further includes forwarding one or more multicast packets to one or more multicast receivers via the underlay multicast group using the underlay multicast group address.
