Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is a network virtualization technology that attempts to address the scalability problems associated with large cloud computing deployments. It uses a VLAN-like encapsulation technique to encapsulate OSI layer 2 Ethernet frames within layer 4 UDP datagrams, using 4789 as the default IANA-assigned destination UDP port number,[1] although many implementations that predate the IANA assignment use port 8472.[2] VXLAN endpoints, which terminate VXLAN tunnels and may be either virtual or physical switch ports, are known as VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEPs).[3][4]

VXLAN is an evolution of efforts to standardize on an overlay encapsulation protocol. Compared to single-tagged IEEE 802.1Q VLANs which provide a limited number of layer-2 VLANs (4094, using a 12-bit VLAN ID), VXLAN increases scalability up to about 16 million logical networks (using a 24-bit VNID) and allows for layer-2 adjacency across IP networks. Multicast or unicast with head-end replication (HER) is used to flood Broadcast, unknown-unicast and multicast traffic.[5]

The VXLAN specification was originally created by VMware, Arista Networks and Cisco.[6][7] Other backers of the VXLAN technology include Huawei,[8] Broadcom, Citrix, Pica8, Big Switch Networks, Arrcus, Cumulus Networks, Dell EMC, Ericsson, Mellanox,[9] FreeBSD,[10] OpenBSD,[11] Red Hat,[12] Joyent, and Juniper Networks.

VXLAN is officially documented by the IETF in RFC 7348.[12] VXLAN encapsulates a MAC frame in a UDP datagram for transport across an IP network,[13] creating an overlay network or tunnel.

Open vSwitch is an example of a software-based virtual network switch that supports VXLAN overlay networks.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
