EFFICIENTLY AVOIDING PACKET LOOPS WHEN ROUTES ARE AGGREGATED IN A SOFTWARE DEFINED DATA CENTER

The disclosure provides an approach for avoiding packet loops when routes are aggregated in a data center. Embodiments include scanning logical segments associated with a customer gateway to identify network addresses associated with the logical segments. Embodiments include determining one or more recommended supernets based on the network addresses associated with the logical segments. Embodiments include providing output to a user based on the one or more recommended supernets. Embodiments include, based on the output, receiving input from the user configuring an aggregation supernet for the customer gateway. Embodiments include advertising the aggregation supernet to one or more endpoints separate from the customer gateway.
