VXLAN: CONCEPTS, OPERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION (2-2) by @davidmirror

This guest post is by David Espejo, who blogs at vcloudopia.wordpress.com, where you can find his back catalogue of posts. David writes in Spanish, so if you don’t speak Spanish be sure to use a browser that will translate for you. Find out more about the guest blogger program here.

B. vCNs Edge as an efficient and cost-effective VXLAN gateway

C. A day in the life of a VXLAN frame
