Abstract
A first network device may receive a frame from a first client device that may be destined for a second client device. Then a request may be sent to a network control plane of a network by the first network device in response to receiving the frame. The request may be for information on reachability for the second client device and may comprise an identifier of the second client device and first metadata corresponding to the first client device. The first network device may receive, from the network control plane, in response to sending the request, a policy rule-set for a flow corresponding to the frame and for a location of the second client device. The network control plane may use the identifier of the second client device and the first metadata as keys to lookup the location of the second client device and the policy rule-set.
