What is VCS? Virtualized Cloud Services (VCS) is a datacenter based SDN platform provided by Nuage Networks. VCS provides an overlay solution to interconnect bare metal assets and virtual machines together within your network, via an overlay. The VSC platform is built upon the following components: * VSD (Management Plane) * VSC

What is Nuage Networks? Nuage Networks is a Nokia based company that products SDN and SD-WAN products. As per the Nuage Network website, "We glue together cloud networks that run on any platform, networking hardware, cloud management system, and cloud provider".[1] What is Nuage VSP? In a

Introduction The controller cluster in the NSX platform is the control plane component responsible for managing the hypervisor switching and routing modules. This includes the logical switches and VXLAN overlay. Due to the centralized, decoupled model of the controller, it provides the ability to reduce broadcast traffic, in turn negating

Overlay networks decouple the network services from the underlying physical network infrastructure. This is achieved by running a virtual network onto of the underlay via the use of network encapsulation. There are 2 main types of overlay solutions - Network-Centric and Host-Centric Overlays. Network-Centric With Network-Centric overlays, the network device

When BUM (Broadcast, Unknown unicast and Multicast) traffic is sent out from a VM, the source VTEP must replicate this traffic out to the other VTEPs via VXLAN encapsulation. NSX provides 3 modes of replication - Multicast, Unicast and Hybrid. Multicast Multicast replication utilizes L2 (IGMP) and L3 (PIM) multicast
