Abstract:
Example methods and systems for virtual tunnel virtualized computing instance (VTEP) learning based on transport protocol information are described. In one example, a computer system may learn first mapping information and second mapping information. The first mapping information may associate (a) a first VTEP with (b) first transport protocol information and inner address information associated with a first virtualized computing instance. The second mapping information may associate (a) a second VTEP with (b) second transport protocol information and inner address information associated with a second virtualized computing instance. The computer system may detect an egress packet that is addressed to the inner address information. In response to determination that the egress packet specifies the first transport protocol information, a first encapsulated packet may be generated and sent towards the first VTEP. Otherwise, a second encapsulated packet may be generated and sent towards the second VTEP.
