So it was a mystery-inducing way of referring to some commodity SDN-related tech, thanks, that's far more informative than the paper :)



Broadcom makes "switch on a chip" modules that will do VxLAN encapsulation and translation to VLAN or regular Ethernet frames. That chipset is available in lots of common 10/40/100 GbE switches from Arista/Juniper/White Box.

In a regular IP Fabric environment we would all this device a VTEP.


Fair point, we should just have taken the opportunity to say SDN here.
