| 摘要 |
A method for providing communication over an overlay virtual network (OVN) with multiple data plane encapsulations at a tunnel endpoint comprising receiving a data packet via a first overlay tunnel, wherein the data packet comprises an encapsulation header of a first encapsulation type and an inner destination address, determining an egress tunnel endpoint and a second encapsulation type supported by the egress tunnel end point based on the inner destination address, performing encapsulation translation on the data packet by replacing the encapsulation header of the first encapsulation type with an encapsulation header of the second encapsulation type to form a translated packet, and forwarding the translated packet toward the egress tunnel endpoint via a second overlay tunnel, wherein the first encapsulation type and the second encapsulation type are different encapsulation types, and wherein the data packet is destined to the egress tunnel endpoint. |
