Re: Any VxLan Support on Xenserver
The ovs contained within XenServer 6.5 is capable of supporting VxLAN, but as Adrian stated the control plane is missing. Prior XenServer versions don't have an ovs capable of VxLAN. I *think* Contrail also supports VxLAN, but I don't know what its status is wrt XenServer 6.5 -tim On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 9:25 AM, Keerthiraja SJ sjkeer...@gmail.com wrote: But Nuage is commercial one right.

RE: Any VxLan Support on Xenserver
I think that the issue is with needing a controller. Unfortunately you can't just replace VLANs with VXLANs unless there's some form of control plane. You can do this in a distributed manner using broadcast to multicast mechanisms but this AFAIK is not implemented in Openvswitch. I'm not quite sure on the commercial aspects but XenServer 6.5 re-introduced the vSwitch controller appliance (DVSC) so this could be a candidate but AFAIK, it's only available on licensed versions of XenServer so any development would likely come from Citrix. There was some work done by Hugo on ACS with OpenDaylight but I think this ran into some issues with the Openvswitch version on XS at the time. That's about all I know but hopefully this helps. I'd be very interested to hear if anyone is actively doing any work on this though. -Original Message- From: Keerthiraja SJ [mailto:sjkeer...@gmail.com] Sent: 31 March 2015 08:39 To: us...@cloudstack.apache.org; dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Any VxLan Support on Xenserver Hi All, Is there any plan to bring up VxLAN support for xenserver on future release version.
