Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes generating, by a first controller of a network, an overlay domain digest using a first domain digest associated with the first controller of the network and a second domain digest associated with a second controller of the network. The method also includes communicating, by the first controller, the overlay domain digest to an edge device of the network, updating, by the first controller, the overlay domain digest to generate an updated overlay domain digest, and communicating, by the first controller, the updated overlay domain digest to the edge device of the network. The method further includes detecting, by the edge device, a difference between the overlay domain digest and the updated overlay domain digest and re-establishing, by the edge device, a connection with an orchestrator of the network to determine a control plane domain change within the network.
