VxLAN has being take into consideration in China Mobile IDC. There are two implementation solutions for VXLAN. The first one is that NVE resides in TOR (top of rack switch), another one is that NVE resides in V-Switch established in hypervisor of physical server. For virtualized network, it's much better to implement NVE in V- switch because it's directly connect with Virtual Machines and easier for business to carry on. As we research in VxLAN solution, some problems are take into our considerations. How much resources will be consumed by VxLAN in a virtualized network environment. This draft introduces the problem for VxLAN performance by test. There is no methodology which can effectively evaluate VxLAN forwarding performance. This draft also attempts to address this issue, give a VXLAN performance evaluation method, especially when VxLAN resides in the virtual switch.}, }
