With VXLAN the size of the identifier is expanded to 24 bits (16777216). VXLAN is described by IETF RFC 7348, and has been implemented by a number of vendors. The protocol runs over UDP using a single destination port. This document describes the Linux kernel tunnel device, there is also a separate implementation of VXLAN for Openvswitch. Unlike most tunnels, a VXLAN is a 1 to N network, not just point to point. A VXLAN device can learn the IP address of the other endpoint either dynamically in a manner similar to a learning bridge, or make use of statically-configured forwarding entries.
