Detecting and communicating silent hosts in software defined network

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for discovering silent hosts in a software defined network and directing traffic to silent hosts in a scalable and targeted manner include determining an interface of a fabric device connected to a respective one or more endpoints, the fabric device is configured to connect an endpoint to a network fabric of a software defined network. At least a first interface is identified, where an address of a first endpoint connected to the first interface cannot be obtained at the fabric device. Based on identifying the first interface, a first notification is sent to a control plane of the software defined network, where the control plane may create a flooding list including the fabric devices. Traffic expected for the first endpoint may be received by the fabric device from the network fabric based on the flooding list. 用于发现软件定义网络中的静默主机并以可扩展且有针对性的方式将流量引导到静默主机的系统、方法以及计算机可读介质包括：确定结构设备的连接到相应的一个或多个端点的接口，其中，结构设备被配置为将端点连接到软件定义网络的网络结构。识别至少第一接口，其中，在结构设备处不能得到连接到第一接口的第一端点的地址。基于识别到第
