Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) is designed to provide scalable and efficient data center interconnectivity. Built upon the foundation of traditional Ethernet, EVPN incorporates the best features of layer 2 and layer 3 protocols to create a flexible and secure network fabric. It offers seamless bridging and routing of traffic across data centers, making it ideal for modern applications that demand low latency and high availability. EVPN operates on the concept of a “control plane” and a “data plane.” The control plane handles...

Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) overview
Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) has emerged as a game changer in network virtualization. In this blog post, we’ll look closely at VXLAN and explore some of its key benefits. In summary, VXLAN is a potent technology that is altering how businesses view network virtualization. Organizations can virtualize their networks, support extensive networking, improve network security, and streamline network administration with VXLAN. VXLAN is a great option worth taking into consideration if you want to virtualize your network, lessen network congestion, or improve network...

What are some of the various terminology used in VXLAN? VNI/VNID: Virtual Network Identifier or VXLAN Network Identifier Layer2 VNI carried in VXLAN bridged packets. VNI is configured per VLAN. Layer3 VNI carried in VXLAN routed packets across VTEPs. One L3 VNI per tenant (VRF) Note: Tenant, VRF, L3VNI are sometimes used interchangeably VTEP: VXLAN Tunnel End Point Performs VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation NVE: Network Virtualization Edge Logical representation of the VTEP VXLAN Gateway Device that forwards traffic between VXLANs It could be both Layer 2...

As networking trends yo-yo between layer-3 and layer-2 centric different protocols have emerged. Protocols such as Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL), Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) have emerged to address the need of scalability at Layer2. Cloud scalability, spanning tree bridging issues, and big broadcast networks start to become a problem in large data center or cloud environments. To figure out if things like TRILL is a solution for you, you must understand the problem that is...
