Abstract: Example methods are provided to perform traffic forwarding between geographically dispersed first site and second site and to support traffic forwarding via a trunk interface. In one example, the method may include receiving, by a first edge device at the first site, network traffic having a plurality of packets via a trunk interface of the first edge device from a virtual tunnel endpoint, the virtual tunnel endpoint having decapsulated the packets prior to communicating the packets through the trunk interface. The method may further include reading an overlay network identifier from each of the packets to identify a source overlay network of the received network traffic from the multiple overlay networks; modifying each of the packets to include a virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier; and forwarding modified network traffic to a second edge device at the second site to identify the destination network based on the VLAN identifier.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are generally directed to systems and methods for deterministic load balancing of processing encapsulated encrypted data packets at a destination tunnel endpoint. For example, certain embodiments described herein relate to configuring a destination tunnel endpoint (TEP) with an encapsulating security payload (ESP) receive side scaling (RSS) mode to assign each incoming packet, received from a certain source endpoint (EP), to a certain RSS queue based on an identifier that is encoded in an SPI value included the packet.
