About the Book
Networks virtualization, no matter which solution we are using, tends to be quite complex. However, they all serve the same need, getting data securely and resilient from point A to B. How this goal is achieved varies between solutions. LISP uses quite a simple EID-to-RLOC mapping system to describe endpoint/prefix reachability information. BGP EVPN has its route types for hosts, prefixes, L2 Multicast, L3 Tenant routed Multicast, ESI Multi-homing, and Ingress/headend replication. OMP, in turn, uses TLOC and Service routes. Each solution uses some tunneling solution where virtual networks are identified in a solution-specific way. LISP uses Instance-Id, BGP EVPN uses L2VNI/L3VNI, and OMP uses VPN/Label binding. Connecting different solutions might feel like a nightmare but in the end, it is not so complex. I have used good old BGP IPv4 Unicast with VRF Lite solution throughout this book.
