US Patent 11405278 Validating tunnel endpoint addresses in a network fabric

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for validating endpoint information for nodes in a network. A network assurance appliance is configured to retrieve an actual tunnel endpoint address for an endpoint in communication with a network fabric via a leaf node in the network fabric, identify a reference tunnel endpoint address for the endpoint, and determine that there is an inconsistency based on a comparison of the actual tunnel endpoint address with the reference tunnel endpoint address.
