GENERATING ROUTE DISTINGUISHERS FOR VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK ADDRESSES BASED ON PHYSICAL HARDWARE ADDRESSES

Abstract:

This disclosure describes techniques for improving route advertisements. In one example, a method includes generating, by a network device, a virtual private network address comprising a route distinguisher value and a network address associated with a compute node, the route distinguisher value based on a layer two physical hardware address of the compute node, and outputting, by the network device, a virtual private network route that includes the virtual private network address.
