Abstract:
In a virtual extensible local area network (VxLAN) that includes a deployment of aggregation VxLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) and access point (AP) VTEPs, packet processing by the aggregation VTEPs includes distinguishing between Type 1 VTEPs and Type 2 VTEPs. When the source of an ingress packet and the next hop destination are both Type 1 VTEPs, the ingress packet is dropped.
