LVTEP support for other features

This section details how LVTEP supports other features.

AC LIF

AC LIFs of type untagged, single tagged, and double tagged are supported.

Layer 2 ACLs

Layer 2 end points (leaf) support Layer 2 ACLs.

Rate limiting

Layer 2 end points (leaf) do not support rate limiting.

QoS

QoS behavior is similar to that for a single VTEP gateway. Details are listed in the following tables for DiffServe tunneling uniform and pipe modes in an overlay network.

Table 1. QoS behavior for DiffServ tunneling uniform mode

Traffic type

VXLAN origination

VXLAN tunnel termination

VLAN cases (untagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header.

NA

VLAN cases (tagged)

Priority Code Point (PCP) is mapped to IP DCSP of VXLAN tunnel and TTL is set to 255.

DSCP is remapped to PCP of L2 traffic.

BD (raw, single tagged)

PCP of VLAN is mapped to DSCP and TTL is set to 255.

DCSP is remapped to PCP of VLAN.

BD (raw, double tagged)

PCP of outer VLAN is mapped to DSCP and TTL is set to 255.

DCSP is remapped to PCP of both inner and outer VLAN. Original PCP inner VLAN is not retained.

BD (raw, untagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header

NA

BD (tagged, single tagged)

PCP is mapped to DSCP and TTL is set to 255

DSCP is remapped to PCP of L2 traffic.

BD (tagged, double tagged)

Outer VLAN PCP is mapped to DSCP and TTL is 255 Inner VLAN header is carried with original PCP.

DSCP is remapped to PCP of outer VLAN and Inner VLAN of L2 traffic.

BD (tagged, untagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header. Dummy VLAN is added: VLAN ID is BD ID and PCP is 0.

NA

Table 2. QoS behavior for DiffServ tunneling pipe mode

Traffic type

VXLAN origination

VXLAN tunnel termination

VLAN cases (untagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header.

NA

VLAN cases (tagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header.

PCP value is set to 0 as inner VLAN is not carried.

BD (raw, single tagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header.

PCP value is set to 0 as inner VLAN is not carried.

BD (raw, double tagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header.

PCP value is set to 0 as inner VLAN is not carried. PCP is cleared for both tags.

BD (raw, untagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header.

NA

BD (tagged, single tagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header. VLAN is carried and PCP is carried.

PCP value is set to zero.

BD (tagged, double tagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header. Inner VLAN is carried and PCP is carried.

PCP value is set to zero.

BD (tagged, untagged)

DSCP 0 and TTL 255 are sent on the tunnel header. Dummy VLAN is added: VLAN ID is BD ID and PCP is 0.

NA

MTU

MTU behavior is similar to that for a single VTEP gateway.

Inner packet tag behavior

Inner packet tag behavior is similar to that for a single VTEP gateway.

The following table summarizes this behavior for VLANs and BDs.

Table 3. Inner packet tag behavior for VLANs and BDs
VLAN/BD Configuration Inner packet tag behavior Remarks

VLAN

Inner packet is always untagged.

BD raw mode

Inner packet is always untagged.

This is RFC-compliant behavior.

BD tagged mode

Inner packet is always tagged.

This mode can be used if a tag must always be sent in the inner packet.

Statistics

The LVTEP tunnel CCEP supports statistics. For BUM traffic, although the traffic is suppressed (through split horizon), it is still accounted for as part of the statistics. This behavior is the same as existing single VTEP behavior.
