Functional Overview of VXLAN Gateway

The following section is the functional overview of VXLAN Gateway:

  1. Provides connectivity between a Virtual server infrastructure and a Physical server infrastructure.

  2. Provides the functions performed by a VTEP in a virtual server infrastructure. The functions of a VTEP are:
    • VTEP is responsible for creating one or more logical networks.

    • VTEP is responsible for identifying and binding a Port and VLAN to a logical network

    • VTEP maintains MAC bindings to a VTEP.

    • VXLAN communicates with the VTEP using a standard protocol called OvsDb Protocol. The protocol uses the JSON RPC-based message format.

    • The VTEP acts according to the TOR schema defined by VMWare. The solution is very specific to VMWare-based orchestration platforms and does not work with other orchestration platforms.
