Did you find out, David? > I understand that if we have 400 hypervisors in just one zone, with a total > of 40.000 advanced networks and 120.000 MACs, each hypervisor as VTEP should > know/manage the 120k MACS. Is that correct? If so, do you identify any > performance issue for this hypervisor to manage these numbers? You should be able to derive your number from that. Keep in mind that the choice to work with shared networks or not also has an influence on this. Also in your calculation above, maybe you should divide by 400? but if you want to be safe you could go for the 120k Very interesting work you do, keep us informed of your findings please. > We have some doubts about the scalability of this architecture, so any > feedback / recommendations of somebody using this architecture in production > will be very helpful. > > Thanks -- Daan
