Abstract
In some embodiments, a system includes a first network control entity, a second network control entity and a third network control entity. The first network control entity and the second network control entity are associated with a first network segment. The third network control entity is associated with a second network segment. The first network control entity is operable to send to the second network control entity an identifier of the first network segment and forwarding-state information associated with a data port at a first network element. The second network control entity is operable to receive the identifier of the first network segment and the forwarding-state information. The second network control entity is operable to send the forwarding-state information to a second network element. The first network control entity does not send the identifier of the first network segment and the forwarding-state information to the third network control entity.
