Deploy virtual overlay network traffic services

摘要

In one embodiment, a system includes an overlay network unit including an interface configured to electrically communicate data with a gateway of a virtual overlay network (VON), a logic configured to include a plurality of of packets from the VON gateway, logic configured to determine if the plurality of packets have an overlay header, logic designed to decapsulate inner packets of packets that encapsulate a packet Have overlay headers, logic configured to perform services on the plurality of packets or on the decapsulated inner packets, and logic configured to include the served inner packets or the served packets with one another Encapsulates overlay headers that are to be switched to a destination address in a virtual network, and sends the encapsulated packets to the VON gateway, or logic that is so gestal That is, it sends the served packets to the VON gateway without encapsulating the packets with an overlay header to be conveyed to a destination address on a non-virtual network.
