Abstract
A loop-free hybrid network can include receiving an advertisement from a non-software defined network (SDN) network device, determining a network topology that includes the non-SDN network device and a number of SDN network devices, and sending an aggregating instruction to the non-SDN network device, wherein the aggregating instruction aggregates all connections between the non-SDN network device and the number of SDN network devices.
