Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) gateway. During operation, the VXLAN gateway receives, from a physical host, an Ethernet packet destined for a virtual machine residing in a remote layer-2 network broadcast domain that is different from a local layer-2 network broadcast domain where the physical host resides. The VXLAN gateway then determines a VXLAN identifier for the received Ethernet packet. The VXLAN gateway further encapsulates the Ethernet packet with the virtual extensible local area network identifier and an Internet Protocol (IP) header, and forwards the encapsulated packet to an IP network, thereby allowing the packet to be transported to the virtual machine via the IP network and allowing the remote layer-2 network broadcast domain and the local layer-2 network broadcast domain to be part of a common layer-2 broadcast domain.

Abstract: The subject technology provides implementations, which may be included as part of firmware of the flash memory device, that will not solely rely on a flash controller interpreted status but includes additional checks to the returned flash status byte. Each flash read, write, and erase command requires a status read command to determine the state of operation. Depending on the particular command issued, each bit of the returned status has a different meaning. The flash memory device firmware can check whether an illogical or inconsistent status is present. For example, if an overall pass/fail bit indicates a “pass” but a plane pass/fail bit indicates a “fail” then there could be an erroneous detection. Also, for every operation, the firmware can read status twice when the flash memory is ready. If the second status byte fails to match the first status byte then a die may be flagged as failing.
