Arista 7500E Switch Puts Up Big, Big Numbers
May 01, 2013 11:30 AM
Arista Networks’ 7500E makes switches exciting again. New line cards support 10, 40 and 100GbE mix-and-match ports and offer outstanding port density. Arista’s per-port pricing is also compelling.Cisco Nexus 6000: First Impressions
February 01, 2013 04:18 PM
I got a sneak peek of the Cisco Nexus 6000 switch series at Cisco Live. It's packed with 40-GbE ports, multicast support and solid core Ethernet capabilities that will translate into speed, simplicity and scale. The Nexus 6000 means Cisco finally "gets" cloud networking.VMware's SDN Dilemma: VXLAN or Nicira?
January 31, 2013 08:02 PM
VMware has invested in two overlay network approaches: the VXLAN standard originally conceived by Cisco and STT, drafted by SDN startup Nicira. VMware acquired Nicira for more than a billion dollars. Which will VMware choose? Here’s my take.Network Overlays: An Introduction
December 11, 2012 04:33 PM
Network overlays dramatically increase the number of virtual subnets that can be created on a physical network, which in turn supports multitenancy and virtualization features such as VM mobility, and can speed configuration of new or existing services. We’ll look at how network overlays work and examine pros and cons.Why We Need Network Abstraction
November 26, 2012 03:16 PM
Highly virtualized data centers are exposing cracks in traditional network constructs such as VLANs. New approaches that abstract the physical network, including network overlays, are key to providing flexibility and scale.What WAN Optimization Can Teach SDN About Tunneling
November 06, 2012 06:50 PM
Network tunnels used to have a bad reputation, but the rise of software-defined networking (SDN) and network virtualization is changing that. WAN optimization, which uses tunnels, may offer insights that IT can apply to SDN.SDN Startup Midokura Takes on IT Giants
October 18, 2012 01:37 PM
Midokura this week announced its MidoNet software, which promises to virtualize networks to enable infrastructure as a service.F5 Announces Enhanced VXLAN Support for Big-IP
October 09, 2012 06:53 PM
F5 Networks’ application delivery controllers will facilitate the deployment of private clouds with its support of the virtual network overlay technology.Arista Bolsters Programmability, Latency With 7150S Switch Line
September 26, 2012 10:20 AM
Arista's new 7150S switches connect to third-party SDN controllers and provide support for VXLAN tunnels for better virtual machine mobility.Exploring Private Cloud Pipes
September 19, 2012 01:48 PM
Traditional networking is static; clouds need systems that can scale. What's the answer for a private cloud: APIs? SDN? OpenFlow? VXLAN? Take a look.1 | 2 | Next Page »

VXLAN termination on physical devices
VXLAN is an Experimental IETF draft of protocols to enable the creation of a large overlay, multi-tenant network.
ONF Deadly Serious About OpenFlow-Based SDNs
: OpenFlow is poised to reach over-hyped status, yet there are practical, useful reasons for keeping an eye on Openflow. The biggest cloud players are involved and driving the feature creation.
Practical Introduction to Applied OpenFlow
Get a primer on the Openflow protocol and what it can do for networking.
On Resilience of Spit-Architecture Networks
This research papers investigates the practical issues in split-architecture networks and the placement of the controllers, such as Openflow controllers, in the network.
