Underlay Network An underlay network, as the name implies, is the underlying physical infrastructure of overlay networks. As shown in the following figure, an underlay network is a physical network consisting of
An overlay network is a virtual or logical network that is created on top of an existing physical network. The internet, which connects many nodes via circuit switching, is an example of an overlay network. An overlay network is any virtual layer on top of physical network infrastructure. This...
The SD-WAN Underlay and Application Monitoring offers comprehensive monitoring of the ISP link, path, and application performance.

Network topology is the diagramming of a network to map the way nodes on a network, including switches and routers, are placed and interconnected.
Mac -in-IP encapsulationcan be achieved using NVGRE or VXLAN. Note: – Overlay is a virtual network that is built on top of an undelaying network infrastructure (Related technologies are VXLAN, NVGRE, TRILL). Overlay network uses underlay network as transport infrastructure. ABOUT THE AUTHOR...
Network provisioning should optimize scalability across a computer network. Collectively, this first component is known as configuration management. Network monitoring and performance management—in which the network infrastructure is continuously monitored for uptime, disruptions, downtime, and outages—is ...
An EVPN-VXLAN-based architecture enables enterprises to easily add new switches without requiring any redesigns of the underlay network. Enhanced security Finer segmentation allows IT to restrict traffic flows between every connected element in the network, hardening security postures and limiting the bl...
Network virtualization is sometimes confused with server virtualization. However, the two virtualization technologies are quite different yet complementary.Server virtualization is the partitioning of physical server resources, such as memory, I/O, storage, and CPU. These resources are confined to the phy...
Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp monitors underlay performance through the vManage dashboard to automatically select the fastest, most reliable path to SaaS applications. In the event of unavoidable Layer 3 service interruptions, Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp adjusts as necessary, helping to ensure continuous...
Network programming allows the behavior and traffic control of network devices to be processed by software that runs independently of network hardware, meaning that users can program on a controller to configure, control, and manage networks.
