Re: [ovs-discuss] [OVN] ToR as the gateway

2020-08-18 Thread Cory Hawkless
I'm very keen to hear if anyone has done this. I believe it's technically 
possible for some of the open hardware switches(Dell\Mellanox etc) to do VXLAN 
or even GENEVE offload at a hardware level.
I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who has done this, used a TOR for 
VLAN<->VXLAN\GENEVE Encapsulation

Subject: [ovs-discuss] [OVN] ToR as the gateway

Hi,

In http://www.openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovn-architecture.7.html,
I see this.

For connecting to gateways, in addition to Geneve and STT, OVN
supports VXLAN, because only  VXLAN  support is common on
top-of-rack  (ToR) switches.


Does anyone have experiences in using physical ToR as the gateway
with VXLAN to connect private virtual networks to external?


Thanks!

Tony
