Abstract
A first processing device may receive, from a first network device, a tunneling protocol message associated with a tunnel to be established between the first network device and a second network device. The first processing device may determine, based on the tunneling protocol message, a device identifier of the second network device. The first processing device may determine that a second processing device is to process a flow associated with the first network device and the second network device based on the device identifier of the second network device. The first processing device may provide information that identifies that the second processing device is to process the flow to permit the second processing device to process the flow associated with the first network device and the second network device.
