It’s been a long time since my last post, and as always, I appreciate the opportunity that the vBrownBag community offers me to publish here. I’ve been on the road with a growing list of project deadlines due to a new consultant role that I accepted, but I’m learning a lot so I hope to share all that new knowledge here.
In this occasion I will talk about what has often been cited as the main barrier to VXLAN adoption: the requirement of Multicast in the physical network and the resulting operational burden of deploying and managing such requirement.
