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 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 which is called Proxy
VXLAN. Proxy VXLAN is a Network Virtualization Edge that does VXLAN
encapsulation/decapsulation. Proxy VXLAN also takes part in virtual
machine creation, virtual machine operation and virtual machine
mobility.
