Abstract:
In data centers there is interest in offloading network functions to
the switches in order to keep the server focused on computation not
networking. IEEE 802.1Qbg or Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA)
at the hypervisor simply forces each VM frame sent out to the
external switch regardless of destination. In this case, the
eXtensible Local Area Network operation or proxying at a higher level
switch is needed. Communication functions of the eXtensible Local
Area Network are moved above to the Top of Rack switches. Top of
Rack switch encapsulates the packets and directs them to their
destination. Packets from the eXtensible Local Area Network servers
are decapsulated before sending it to the destination proxy servers.
