Abstract
Techniques are presented herein for optimizing traffic routing in overlay networks. At a first edge device located at a first site in a network, a message is received that indicates address information of a network device. The address information of the network device is stored in an address table. The address information is associated with a site identifier that identifies a second site at which the network device is located. The site identifier is mapped to an identifier associated with a second edge device that is responsible for routing traffic to network devices at the second site.
