PROXY TUNNEL END POINT UNIT, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR SCALABLE NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION HAVING THE SAME AND COMMUNICATION METHOD FOR SCALABLE NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION

摘要

Provided herein is a proxy tunnel end point apparatus including a tunnel management unit configured to generate a tunnel; a VNID management unit configured to generate a VSI for a VNID; a tunnel packet end point unit configured to terminate the tunnel, extract VNID information from the packet, and transmit the terminated L2 packet to the VSI corresponding to the VNID; a VSI unit having a virtual port corresponding to each terminated tunnel in the tunnel packet end point unit, and configured to perform L2 switching on the terminated L2 packet transmitted from the tunnel packet end point unit and to transmit the L2 packet to a destination virtual port; and a tunnel packet generation unit configured to transmit the packet to a second tunnel end point unit of a destination of transmission, based on a destination virtual port information.
