Hi Gyan,

Similar architecture has been invented and shipped by Contrail team. Now
that project after they got acquired by Juniper has been renamed to
Tungsten Fabric https://tungsten.io/ while Juniper continued to keep the
original project's name and commercial flavor of it. No guarantees of any
product quality at this point.

Btw ,,, no need for VXLAN nor BGP to the host. The proposed above
alternative were well thought out and turned to work ways far more
efficient and practical if you zoom into details.

Best,
Robert.
