Hi folks I've been thinking about this and I think I have a possible suggestion
Lettering: It's case sensitive L - Local R - Remote S - vSwitch P- Physical NIC V - Virtual NIC pp - patch port O - Overlay port - not sure if we need... Numbering: Numeric values can follow any of the last S, V, and P or nothing follows them which implies a 1. For ports it implies the number of ports V2 is two virtual ports connected in succession. For switches it actually acts as an Identifier LS2 is local switch 2. The scheme is really to describe the flows from port to port through the vswitch so Current scheme Proposed scheme Phy2phy LS_P2 PVP LS_PVP PVVP LS_PV2P Multiple VMs in series LS_PVxP where X is the number Multiple VMs in Parallel LS_PVP_x (where X is a number applies to everything surrounded by underscores) 2 local switches doing phy2phy LS1_P2_LS2_P2 2 local switches patched together LS1_Ppp_LS2_P Overlayed -switches on a local and a remote LS_PO_RS_OP Overlayed - local switched LS1_PO_LS2_OP Not as simple as I would have hoped, but open to any suggestions BR Marayam
