vxlan and/or otv users out there?
Dear list,
I know that this question is not NetBSD specific per see, but I am aware
that some of you out there have implemented and used vxlan-like
technologies to extend networks at L2. Some have worked on it with rump
[1].
$DAYJOB is currently investigating using these kind of technologies
(mostly: vxlan or otv) to extent "seamlessly" L2 networks between two
"zones", but as I have never used such protocols I am bit at a loss
here, especially on the administrativia stuff.
If any of you used or use it and is willing to share (privately or not)
his opinion on these, I will gladly take it, especially for things at a
larger scale than what I could achieve on my small test bench. I am bit
wary of L2 extension protocols when it regards scalability of the
infrastructure, specifically for large networks (I guess that an
alternative to STP needs to be used here?).
Thanks :)
