Abstract
Heterogeneous capabilities in an overlay fabric may be provided. First, it may be determined that a first link and a second link support a feature. Then the first link and the second link may be traversed with traffic between a host in a first Endpoint Group (EPG) connected to a first leaf switch and a second host in a second EPG connected to a second leaf switch when a topology preference for the feature is indicated for the traffic.
