Abstract
A first route reflector client manager determines identifies that a distributed lock has been released, wherein the first route reflector client manager corresponds to a first route reflector client. In response to the determining that the distributed lock has been released, the first route reflector client manager retrieves the distributed lock. In response to retrieving the distributed lock the first route reflector client manager provisions the first route reflector client into a first route reflector. The first route reflector client manager advertises information corresponding to the provisioning of the first route reflector client into the first route reflector, wherein the advertising causes at least a second route reflector client to identify the first route reflector client as the first route reflector.
