Hypervisor-embedded first-hop routing for east-west traffic optimization in VMware NSX

Image
Each ESXi host has its own copy of each configured DLR instance. Each DLR instance has its own unique set of tables containing the information needed to forward packets. This information is synchronized across all hosts where this DLR instance exists. Instances of an individual DLR across different hosts have exactly the same information. Routing is always handled by a DLR instance on the same host where the source VM is running because the same DLR Instance is running on the another host too. This means that when source and destination VMs are on different hosts, the DLR instance that provides routing between them sees packets only in one direction, from source VM to destination. Return traffic is only seen by the corresponding instance of the same DLR on the destination VM's host. After the DLR has completed routing, delivery to the final destination is the responsibility of the DVS vi...

When DLR Control VM Deployment is Needed in VMware NSX?

Question : When DLR Control VM Deployment is Needed in VMware NSX? Answer : It is needed when you want to configure dynamic routing, if you are looking for only static routing configuration for east-west traffic then DLR Control VM is not required via Latest imported feed items on VMware Blogs https://ift.tt/2HgCXKO If New feed item from https://blogs.vmware.com/feed , then send me an email at kr

Astronomy Picture of the Day: Saturns Iapetus: Painted Moon

Saturns Iapetus: Painted Moon What has happened to Saturn's moon Iapetus? Vast sections of this strange world are dark as coal , while others are as bright as ice. The composition of the dark material is unknown, but infrared spectra indicate that it possibly contains some dark form of carbon . Iapetus also has an unusual equatorial ridge that makes it appear like a walnut . To help better understand this seemingly painted moon, NASA directed the robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn to swoop within 2,00 0 kilometers in 2007. Pictured here , from about 75,000 kilometers out, Cassini's trajectory allowed unprecedented imaging of the hemisphere of Iapetus that is always trailing . A huge impact crater seen in the south spans a tremendous 450 kilometers and appears superposed on an older crater of similar size. The dark material is seen increasingly coating the easter...

Fiat Chrysler will launch over 30 EVs and hybrids by 2022

Image
Fiat Chrysler isn't exactly the first name that comes to mind when you think of electric cars. Where Ford , Volkswagen and other brands are basing their long-term roadmaps around EVs, Fiat Chrysler has been hesitant to make more than the occasional hybrid . Now, though, it's ready to make up for lost time... if only just. As part of a five-year plan, the company has announced that it will launch over 30 vehicles with some kind of electrification by 2022, whether it's a full EV, a plug-in hybrid or a conventional hybrid. To that end, it's investing €9 billion ($10.5 billion) into the development of these greener machines. However, you can't quite call it a leap into the future. The automaker estimated that 15 to 20 percent of its sales will involve models with "heavy electrification" like EVs or full hybrids. That's an improvement, bu...
