VXLAN achieves L2 over L3 overlay using the tunneling mechanism. VTEPs are the end points of a tunnel
located within the hypervisor on the server that hosts VMs. The VXLAN frame format is shown in the following
figure:
Figure 146. VXLAN Frame Format
Components of VXLAN Frame Format
Some of the important fields of the VXLAN frame format are described below:
Outer Ethernet
Header:
The Outer Ethernet Header consists of the following components:
•
Destination Address
: Generally, it is a first hop router's MAC address when the
VTEP is on a different address.
•
Source Address
: It is the source MAC address of the router that routes the
packet.
•
VLAN
: It is optional in a VXLAN implementation and will be designated by an
ethertype of 0×8100 and has an associated VLAN ID tag.
•
Ethertype:
It is set to 0×0800 because the payload packet is an IPv4 packet. The
initial VXLAN draft does not include an IPv6 implementation, but it is planned for
the next draft.
Outer IP Header:
The Outer IP Header consists of the following components:
•
Protocol
: It is set to 0×11 to indicate that the frame contains a UDP packet .
•
Source IP
: It is the IP address of originating VTEP.
•
Destination IP:
: It is the IP address of target VTEP.
Outer UDP
Header:
The Outer UDP Header consists of the following components:
