Abstract
Dynamic cluster host interconnectivity based on reachability characteristics is disclosed. A first host receives a request from a first container executing on the first host to send a communication to a second container on a second host. The first host determines that the first host can communicate with the second host via a layer two communications protocol or that the first host can communicate with the second host only via a layer three communications protocol. The first host identifies, in a host accessibility structure, whether the first host can communicate with the second host via the layer two communications protocol or the layer three communications protocol.
