Abstract: Technologies are provided in example embodiments for intercepting a packet being multicast from a first tunnel endpoint in a network, determining first address mapping information of the first tunnel endpoint and a first host, wherein the first host created the packet, generating a control protocol message with the first address mapping information, and communicating the control protocol message through a control plane in the network. In more specific example embodiments, the communicating the control protocol message includes sending the control protocol message to a network repository, where the first address mapping information is registered in the network repository. In other more specific example embodiments, the communicating the control protocol message includes pushing the control protocol message to one or more other tunnel endpoints. Further embodiments include decapsulating the packet to determine an endpoint identifier of the first host and a location of the first tunnel endpoint.

Abstract translation: 在示例实施例中提供了技术，用于截取来自网络中的第一隧道端点的多播的分组，确定第一隧道端点和第一主机的第一地址映射信息，其中第一主机创建分组，生成具有 第一地址映射信息，并通过网络中的控制平面传送控制协议消息。 在更具体的示例实施例中，传送控制协议消息包括将控制协议消息发送到网络存储库，其中第一地址映射信息被登记在网络存储库中。 在其他更具体的示例实施例中，传达控制协议消息包括将控制协议消息推送到一个或多个其他隧道端点。 另外的实施例包括解封装分组以确定第一主机的端点标识符和第一隧道端点的位置。
