Abstract

A system transmits, to a hub from a first spoke, first routing information associated with the first spoke. The system receives, at the first spoke, from the hub, second routing information associated with a plurality of spokes in communication with the hub. The plurality of spokes includes a second spoke. The system resolves, at the first spoke, a next hop determination for the packet based on the second routing information received from the hub. The system routes the packet from the first spoke to the second spoke using the next hop determination.
