16 Unicast Packet Walk LS Web1 mac1 HV1 TEP1 Web2 Central Control Plane Cluster Overlay encapsulated frame Mac1? Mac1? Web3 TEP1 mac1 HV3 TEP3 TEP IP Mac1 TEP1 Mac2 TEP2 Mac3 local TEP IP Mac1 TEP1 Mac2 TEP2 Mac3 TEP3 Web3 sends a unicast to Web1 A lookup is made for Mac1 If it s a hit { Frame is encapsulated Frame is sent unicast to remote TEP } else { Frame is flooded } 20

17 BUM Traffic Handling : Unicast (MTEP) Traffic flooded from Web1 on HV1 on a Logical Switch Frame replication is achieved at two tiers, based on the TEP subnets HV2 Web1 HV1 TEP2 HV3 TEP1 TEP3 TEP1, TEP2, TEP3 have IP addresses in subnet A 1. HV1 replicates the frame to all TEPs in its subnet A 2. HV1 forwards the frame to one TEP in each remote subnet B & C 3. Remote TEPs in subnet B & C replicate the frame to other interested TEPs in their respective subnet. TEP4 TEP6 TEP7 TEP9 HV4 TEP5 HV6 HV7 TEP8 HV9 HV5 TEP4, TEP5, TEP6 have IP addresses in subnet B HV8 TEP7, TEP8, TEP9 have IP addresses in subnet C HV6 has no logical port in the logical switch 21

19 Flood and Learn The controller distribute Mac TEP association, but NSX can also do data plane learning Example of data plane learning of Mac1 on HV5 from a frame flooded by VM Web1 Web1 Mac1 HV1 TEP1 L2 Payload Src Mac1: Dest Mac FF Inner Src IP:TEP1 Dest IP:TEP4 Tunnel Header Now, a more complex example (MTEP replication, as seen previous slide) Solution: Carry some metadata identifying the source TEP in the encapsulation Web1 Mac1 TEP1 HV1 Mac1 S:Tep1 TEP4 HV4 Mac1 S:Tep1 TEP2 HV2 TEP5 HV5 MAC@ TEP IP Mac1 TEP1 MAC@ TEP IP Mac1 TEP1 23

20 Choice for NSX Overlay Encapsulation Metadata is critical to any distributed system, Encapsulations designed around hardware-based forwarding typically have fixed fields New features might require new metadata NSX is currently leveraging GENEVE as a tunneling mechanism ( It maintains the traditional offload capabilities offered by NICs for best performance Provides complete flexibility for inserting Metadata as Type Length Value (TLV) fields Note: Third party devices don t need to understand NSX tunnels Tools for looking inside GENEVE tunnels are available (Wireshark dissector for ex.) NSX can handle different types of tunnels simultaneously. 24
