Datapath

The following figure shows an example of the datapath. Node A has a sync route from node A‘ and has added the ICL link to the OIF list for the traffic. When multicast traffic reaches node A, the traffic is sent not just to the multicast VxLAN tunnel which sends the traffic to Sp2, but also to the ICL connecting the nodes A and A‘. Node A‘ picks up the traffic and directs it into its multicast VxLAN tunnel to deliver it to nodes B and C through Sp1. Traffic delivery to the servers connected to nodes B and D depends on the presence of VNI and C-multicast group on those nodes or routers.
