    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method inserts, by a first computing device, a first value for a capability in a first message that is used in a process to automatically exchange capability values with a second computing device. The first value for the capability indicates the first computing device requires a default route to reach the second computing device as a next hop for sending a packet to a destination. The first computing device sends the first message to the second computing device; and receives a second value for the capability in a second message from the second computing device. The second value indicating the second computing device will send the default route to reach the second computing device. When the default route is received from the second computing device, the first computing device stores the default route from the second computing device in a route table.

    Abstract: A technique for performing adaptive rate limiting of flow probes is described. The technique includes sending a plurality of flow probes from a first service engine to at least one other service engine. The flow probes are sent at a rate that does not exceed a rate limit. A flow probe of the plurality of flow probes is generated in response to the first service engine receiving a mid-flow packet for a flow that is not recognized by the first service engine. A recipient service engine of the flow probe responds with a success indicator if the recipient service engine recognizes the flow. The technique also includes determining a success rate associated with success indicators received from the at least one other service engine and comparing the success rate with a first threshold. The rate limit is adjusted in response to a comparison result.
