DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF ADVERTISEMENT PACKETS
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, a first plurality of multicast advertisement packets from a first networking device on an external network, wherein the plurality of multicast advertisement packets are received at a first frequency;
storing, by the controller, one of the first plurality of multicast advertisement packets in an advertisement packet repository; and
transmitting, by the controller, information in the one of the plurality of advertisement packets on an internal network at a second frequency, wherein the second frequency is less frequent than the first frequency.
