Components of VXLAN network
VXLAN provides a mechanism to extend an L2 network over an L3 network. In short, VXLAN is an L2 overlay scheme over an L3 network
and this overlay is termed as a VXLAN segment.
Components of VXLAN network
The VXLAN network consists of the following components:
• Network Virtualization Platform (NVP) Controller
• VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point)
• VXLAN Gateway
• VXLAN Hypervisor
• Service Node (SN)
• Legacy TOR

Platform (NVP)
Controller
NVP Controller is the network controller for managing cloud components. The OVSDB protocol is the protocol
used for communication between VTEPs and the controller. The top-level functions of NVP are:
• Provide a GUI for creating service gateways.
