More Information
Summary:Various techniques for partitioning an overlay network is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, an overlay network can be partitioned into overlay partitions with manageable sizes. Each overlay partition can independently manage and update reachability information only for end points that belong to a virtual network with at least one end point in the overlay partition. Thus, each overlay partition can operate independently from others to achieve fast reachability updating for relocated virtual machines or other end points.
