Abstract

In VXLAN overlay networks, Operation and Management(OAM)functions are important for fault management and performance monitoring. Path Detection(PD) is one critical OAM function which is applied to monitor and/or diagnose the potential paths between two VTEPs or between two Tenant System. In addition, it can assist to identify the locations of failures on data transmission paths. This document specifies a method of PD method for VXLAN Overlay Networks by using a centralized controller. However,the method can be easily extended to support the overlay networks without a centrilized controller. It can also be generalized to other overlay technique such as NVGRE.
