Abstract
In one embodiment a method includes receiving a first message including information regarding a first host connected to a first tunnel endpoint in a first network domain, the received information being encoded in accordance with a control plane protocol of the first network domain; translating the received first message in accordance with an API and/or a database schema of a second network domain; and transmitting the translated first message to the second network domain. The method further includes receiving a second message comprising information regarding a second host connected to a second tunnel endpoint in the second network domain, the received information being encoded in accordance with the API and/or the database schema of the second network domain; translating the second received message in accordance with the control plane protocol of the first network domain; and transmitting the translated second message to the first network domain.
