Just curious if anyone knows of any work going on around something like this Docker proposal for Multi-Host networking:
https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/8951 Given the direction of LXD/LXC and their increased use in data centers & clouds I would like to know if anyone has looked at the proposal for native Docker multi-host networking in regards to an LXD/LXC solution for the same problem(s). I've been looking at VXFLD (vxlan flood) <https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/vxfld> which was open-sourced last year by Cumulus Networks and MetaCloud (just before Cisco bought MetaCloud). VXFLD attempts to solve the problem handling BUM (Broadcast, Unknown & Multicast) packets for VxLAN without requiring that the network support Multi-Cast. VXFLD was submitted to IETF as a proposed uni-cast VxLAN solution but I'm not sure where it stands. re. a uni-cast VxLAN solution which would enable Overlay networking of LXC containers. These 2 topics (multi-host networking) and what VXFLD attempts to solve (unicast VxLAN) are big topics in OpenStack & SDN today. I've been thinking that either an LXC "host" could be used as the VxLAN VTEP (Virtual Tunnel End Point) and traffic from LXC containers on that host could be inter-connected with any other LXC container on any other Host via the VxLAN tunnel. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else was or has looked at this kind of problem/solution in LXC deployments? Brian
