GENEVE network tunneling protocol
Evolution
Conclusions
GENEVE supports the interconnection of virtual networks (overlay) over a common physical network (underlay). Each virtual network node sees the others as direct neighbors through the GENEVE tunnel, regardless of whether they are running on the same physical device or at different locations. All told, GENEVE helps virtual networks get a unique network identity and connect them over a common physical network, which, in turn, benefits the flexibility and scalability of virtual networks.

Successful protocol analysis in modern network structures
Virtual networks and server structures require additional mechanisms to ensure visibility of data streams. We show how to monitor and analyze network functions, even when virtualization is involved. -
Segmenting networks with VLANs
Network virtualization takes very different approaches at the software and hardware levels to divide or group network resources into logical units independent of the physical layer. It is typically a matter of implementing secure strategies. We show the technical underpinnings of VLANs. -
