Assisted Replication with Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) Access Points

ExtremeXOS 31.2 adds support for access points (APs) to the Assisted Replication feature.

Assisted replication is a feature within a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) environment that improves efficiency of broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic handling. More specifically, assisted replication only modifies the forwarding behavior of BUM traffic. Similar to regular Assisted Replication functionality, the role of the replicator in an AP topology includes replicating BUM traffic on behalf of the sending VXLAN VTEP (AP in this case).
