Hello There,
I am trying to explore an option of setting up multiple continental DMVPN HUBs and each spoke router in that continent will talk to a local DMVPN HUb. However, I am skeptical about the following -
How will be the HUB-to-HUB communication?
Will spoke still be able to set up a direct phase 3 communication, even though the hub is regional?
Or instead of I use only 4 routers in the same region and make all 4 HUBs for the rest of the spoke site.
Do I need to be aware of any special things which might over complicated the topology and/or failure scenarios?
What are the major drawbacks of seeing multiple continental HUB vs regional hubs?
Thank you!

now you want active/active Hub
this need to make both Hub advertise the LAN to Spoke

if you want primary/backup Hub
then make backup hub as spoke to primary hub

Hi MHM,
It is not just a typical HUB and SPOKE topology, currently, I have active/passive tunnels but this is a little different than what you just described. Thank you for your response.

@dev.puniya sounds like you are looking for a hierarchical DMVPN design, with a Central bub(s) and regional hubs, this allows spoke-to-spoke tunnels to be built between any spokes within the DMVPN network, whether they are in the same region or not.
