Abstract
Segmentation offloading is nowadays common in network stack implementation and well supported by para-virtualized network device drivers for virtual machine (VM)s. This draft describes an extension to Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) so that segmentation can be decoupled from physical/underlay networks and offloaded further to the remote end-point thus improving data-plane performance for VMs running on top of overlay networks.
