[c-nsp] Cisco ASR/CSR VXLAN

[Gustav Ulander]

Hello.

Iam quite curious regarding this also. 
As far as I understand you bind the VTEP interface to the L2 part of your network with a bridge-domain. 
Iam thinking that you could assign a BDI interface to the same bridge-domain? Logically it makes sence but I haven't tried it since iam lacking hardware at the moment to try on. 
This would perhaps also work without the service instance part so you can pinhole the VXLAN traffic to your PE/DCI routers actually route the broadcastdomain on the router itself. 
It would make implementing VXLAN as an alternative to STP abit easier I would think. 
Perhaps someone else has played some more with a similar concept? We are also looking into using ASR 9k routers instead of 1k ones.

Hi all,

I presume this issue is the same on both the CSR1k and ASR1k platforms.

Given that VXLAN has to terminate on a Layer 3 interface... I am struggling to figure out how to terminate a VXLAN at layer 2 on the platform and then put layer 3 onto it (SVI style).

Anyone got any ideas?
