"The vxlan(4) driver has been added, which creates a virtual Layer 2 (Ethernet) network overlaid in a Layer 3 (IP/UDP) network. The vxlan(4) driver is analogous to vlan(4), but is designed to be better suited for large, multiple-tenant datacenter environments. [r284365]"<br>

This looks pretty interesting to me and it looks like this is supported by Cisco (as well as other switch vendors probably too). Has anyone on the list used this in production?<br>
<br>
I'd love to hear some use-cases - I can think of it being useful in the virutalization world (amazon VPC for example).<br>
