Virtual eXtensible LAN, or VXLAN is a network virtualization technology that is exceptionally useful for large datacenter and cloud computing deployments. VXLAN has been developed to overcome some of the limitations of scalability that are inherent to more traditional Layer 2 technologies. This series of videos will help you to get a firmer grasp of VXLAN, how it works, and how you can use it.

We've talked about it in previous videos, but we haven't approached it with this terminology and definition. IRB can be employed symmetrically or asymmetrically. In this video we'll explain what asymmetric and symmetric IRB are and how they work.
