The host transmits a first message to the data center (DC) if the host joins the DC, the first message to indicate a presence of the host. The DC updates a routing table to indicate a path to the host, based on the first message. A second message is transmitted if the host leaves the DC. The DC updates the routing table to remove the path to the host, based on the second message.
