Layer 3 VXLAN gateways can be further categorized into centralized and distributed gateways. Centralized VXLAN Gateway In centralized VXLAN gateway networking, the Layer 3 gateway is deployed only on one device. All traffic sent across subnets is forwarded through this Layer 3 gateway, implementing cen...
The VXLAN header and the original Ethernet frame are used as UDP data. In the UDP header, the destination port number (VXLAN Port) is fixed at 4789, and the source port number (UDP Src. Port) is calculated using the hash algorithm based on the original Ethernet frame. ...
Virtual ExtensibleLocal Area Network(VXLAN) How does Cloudflare use tunneling? Cloudflare Magic Transitprotects on-premise,cloud, andhybridnetwork infrastructure fromDDoS attacksand other threats. In order for Magic Transit to work, the Cloudflare network has to be securely connected to the customer's...
To solve this problem, Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) was introduced. Defined in RFC, VXLAN is a Network Virtualization over Layer 3 (NVO3) technology that uses MAC-in-User Datagram Protocol (MAC-in-UDP) encapsulation. VXLAN overcomes the preceding disadvantages of VLAN. VXLAN us...

VMware’s NSX is arguably one of the most popular software-defined networking (SDN) solutions in use today. VMware NSX-V uses an overlay encapsulation protocol calledVirtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)to create the overlay network used to create the virtual networks. What is VXLAN? Why is it requir...
Ok, in my last post I setup very basic VXLAN with multicast. Let’s break different components and observe the behavior. First we’ll break basic IP reach-ability between loop-backs. Then we will break multicast and observe. The next post we will fix our broken multicast (which is very ...
VMs running on every machine requires management software such as Kubernetes, LXD/MicroCloud and OpenStack. Collectively referred to as “Cloud Management Software (CMS)”, what these solutions have in common is that they can delegate implementation of the networking for containers and VMs to OVN....
A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical overlay network that groups together a subset of devices that share a physical LAN, isolating the traffic for each group. A LAN is a group of computers or other devices in the same place -- e.g., the same building or campus -- that share the same...
