VXLAN Challenges – Loss of Network Visibility & Control

Total loss of visibility of overlay network – all traffic is now UDP-tunneled

Virtualization layer controls all tunnel and overlay network setup/tear down

Impossible to isolate overlay traffic from physical network

Different overlay networks can have overlapping address spaces

UDP Tunnel

How to troubleshoot and monitor network performance?
