Proposed herein at techniques for scalable network traffic steering in a multi-tenant network. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at an ingress of a multi-tenant network, a data packet, the data packet including a Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) identifying a corresponding tenant for the data packet in the multi-tenant network, and determining, at the ingress, a corresponding cluster of routers for processing the data packet based on the VNI, wherein the corresponding cluster of routers is one of a plurality of clusters of routers in the multi-tenant network. The method further includes forwarding the data packet to a router in the corresponding cluster of routers for processing.
A method comprising:
A network element of a multi-tenant network, comprising:
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors at an ingress of a multi-tenant network, cause the ingress to:
