Abstract:

   This document specifies Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network
   (VXLAN), which is used to address the need for overlay networks
   within virtualized data centers accommodating multiple tenants.  The
   scheme and the related protocols can be used in networks for cloud
   service providers and enterprise data centers.  This document
   obsoletes RFC 7348, which documented the deployed VXLAN protocol for
   the benefit of the Internet community, and moves the VXLAN
   specification to the IETF document stream, allowing for the creation
   of extensions to VXLAN that require additions to the VXLAN header and
   their registration with IANA.  The format and processing described
   here are fully compatible with those in RFC7348.
