Abstract: Systems and methods of communicating between a plurality of hosts comprising one or more first hosts controlled by a first control plane and one or more second hosts controlled by a second control plane are disclosed herein. Each of the one or more first hosts runs at least one tunneling endpoint of one or more first tunneling endpoints, and each of the one or more second hosts runs at least one tunneling endpoint of one or more second tunneling endpoint. The method includes storing, at each of the one or more first hosts, a global list identifying at least the one or more second tunneling endpoints. The method further includes receiving a packet at one of the one or more first tunneling endpoints. The method further includes replicating, encapsulating, and transmitting the packet to each of the one or more second tunneling endpoints based on the global list.
