  • Anycast address configuration for extended local area networks
    Patent number: 11228459
    Abstract: Anycast address configuration on thousands of VXLANs (Virtual eXtensible LANs) or other types of extended LANs can be performed automatically. If an anycast address is configured on one VXLAN gateway or VTEP (Virtual Tunnel End Point), the VTEP sends the anycast address to other VTEPs, possibly together with a VXLAN identifier (e.g. Virtual Network Identifier, or VNI), and the other VTEPs automatically configure the anycast address on their interfaces in the VXLAN. If a VTEP receives conflicting anycast addresses, the VTEP resolves the conflict to select an anycast address according to a predefined rule. All VTEPs may use the same conflict resolution rule, so the same anycast address is installed at each VTEP despite the conflict. Other features are also provided.
