Abstract
A system determines a replication threshold for a device operating as a tunnel endpoint in an overlay network. The replication threshold indicates a capacity of replication resources of the device. The system obtains a current replication count for the device corresponding to a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN). The system selects a replication type for a broadcast domain specific to the device and the VXLAN based on the replication threshold and the current replication count. The replication type indicates one of: a first type associated with an ingress replication broadcast domain comprising unicast tunnels; a second type associated with an underlay multicast broadcast domain comprising multicast tunnels; and a third type associated with a hybrid broadcast domain comprising a combination of the first type and the second type. The system creates the broadcast domain specific to the device and the VXLAN based on the selected replication type.
