  • receive 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;

    store a first multicast advertisement packet of the first plurality of multicast advertisement packets in an advertisement packet repository in response to a determination that the advertisement packet repository does not comprise a copy of the first multicast advertisement packet and in response to a determination that an attribute of the first multicast advertisement packet does not match an attribute of another multicast advertisement packet in the advertisement packet repository;

    transmit the first advertisement packet on an internal network at a second frequency, wherein the second frequency is less frequent than the first frequency; and

    determine a frequency at which to multicast the first multicast advertisement packet to the internal network based on an attribute of the first multicast advertisement packet, a current internal traffic level of the internal network, and a current aggregate traffic level of advertisement packets in the internal network.
