Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium or media comprising one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, causes steps to be performed comprising:
in response to receiving a learn notification associated with a media access control (MAC) address that was learned on a peer virtual extensible local area network (VxLAN) tunnel endpoint (VTEP):
determining whether adding the MAC address causes a media access control (MAC) learning limit (MLL) for the VTEP to be exceeded; and
in response to determining that the MLL will be exceeded if the MAC address was added:
not adding the MAC address to an Ethernet segment (ES); and
sending a MAC delete notification to remove the MAC address from the ES, which causes the MAC address to be removed from the peer VTEP and, if present, to be removed from other peer VTEPs.
