A network element is provided. The network element includes a tunneling endpoint having a virtual address. The tunneling endpoint is configured to receive an address resolution reply that has a destination MAC (media access control) address matching the virtual address of the tunneling endpoint and is from a network device in a first network that includes the tunneling endpoint. The tunneling endpoint is further configured to send the address resolution reply via an interconnect to a further tunneling endpoint in a further network. A method for address resolution in virtual extensible networks is also provided.

Address resolution in virtual extensible networks

Method and system for reducing multicast traffic loss including configuring, on a primary DR including a first configured DR priority, a DR parameter including a value and an attribute; sending to a secondary DR, after a PIM interface comes up, a PIM hello message including a default DR priority lower than a second configured priority of the secondary DR; sending to the secondary DR, after the primary DR reaches a system-up state, a PIM hello message including the default DR priority; performing DR functionality, by the primary DR, after reaching the system-up state; and sending to the secondary DR, after waiting a time period corresponding to the value of the DR parameter, a PIM hello message including the first configured DR priority, where the primary DR waits to send the last PIM hello message to the secondary DR after the time period based on the attribute of the DR parameter.
