VXFLD

VXLAN BUM Flooding Suite

VXFLD is a suite of tools that provides the ability to do VXLAN BUM flooding using unicast instead of the traditional multicast.

This is accomplished using 2 components, vxsnd and vxrd.

vxsnd provides the unicast BUM packet flooding and VTEP learing capabilities while vxrd is a simple registration daemon designed to register local VTEPs with a remote vxsnd daemon.

TODO

• Requesting complete VNI dump from other node (initial startup)
• concurrency model
  • coroutines, eventlet/greenlet/greenthreads
  • 3 basic core functions today should have distince concurrency
    • BUM packet flooding
    • VNI registration
    • Replication
      • Sending VNI data to other node
      • Responding to VNI dump request from peer
• Unit tests
• pep8
• ability to run as non-priveleged user
• tiered replication/flooding
