Abstract
Techniques for improved routing based on network traffic are provided. Telemetry data relating to a first network node of a plurality of network nodes in a locator ID separation protocol (LISP) fabric is received. A first portion of the telemetry data that relates to a first destination of a plurality of destinations is identified. Further, a first routing weight associated with a first interface of the first network node is revised based on the first portion of the telemetry data, where the first interface is associated with the first destination. The revised first routing weight is published to a second plurality of network nodes in the LISP fabric, wherein the second plurality of network nodes route packets to the first network node based in part on the revised first routing weight.
