VXLAN - Encapsulation, Headers, and the Packet Transmission Process

Virtual eXtensible LAN, or VXLAN is a network virtualization technology that is exceptionally useful for large datacenter and cloud computing deployments. VXLAN has been developed to overcome some of the limitations of scalability that are inherent to more traditional Layer 2 technologies.

In this video, the third in the series, I'll be discussing the VXLAN encapsulation process, the VXLAN header structure, and the process by which communication takes place across the underlay network.

Thank you Lazarus! it is really simple to understand.
Keep going with more videos in the future!! 🤗

Laz - your explanation of the packet walk was excellent. The whole VNI thing finally became clear to me after your explanation. Great video!! 👍

These videos (and maybe this 2nd cup of coffee) have really inspired me to continue with my SDWAN deep dive. Can't wait to revisit my setup using the knowledge from these series.

your contents are short, crisp and very informative, Thank for the knowledge share and keep up the good work. I love your BGP series as well.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience..!

Hi it would be helpful, if you could add series number in the heading for each specific topics (like this is PART-2 of your VXLAN), yeah we could always get from the time you had shared it, but would be easy to refer later after months if needed 😉

another way they call it flood and learn. is nt it correct?
