Acee, We have deployment of using BGP to group a set of SDWAN nodes as one entity and exchange link/paths/ports information among sites/nodes.
TTZ could be another option.

The proposed TTZ can group a set of nodes not geographically together into one virtual area to scale virtual overlay networks with lots of nodes. Those kind overlay networks are getting more momentum in SDWAN and CDN environment. I'm not sure I follow this use-case. The intent of TTZ is to treat a bunch of nodes as a single node (or subset of nodes in early work) to reduce the link-state DB size and flooding requirements, AFAICT. Thanks, Chris.
