COOP updates the addresses of all hosts that are attached to the ACI fabric.

COOP enables APIC mapping, VMM mapping DHCP forwarding ARP/GARP learning and data plane learning.

COOP ensures all spine nodes maintain a consistent copy of endpoint addresses.

COOP maintains the distributed hash table repository of endpoint identity-to-location mappings.

There must be one OSPFv2 adjacency per tenant.

The ACI fabric must be configured in Area 0.

The ACI fabric must be configured as a stub network.

The ACI fabric must be configured as a transit network.

The OSPF timers for the fabric must match the private network.
