VXLAN and EVB questions  Wim (@fracske) De Smet sent me a whole
set of very good VXLAN- and EVB-related questions that might be
relevant to a wider audience.  If I understand you correctly,
you think that VXLAN will win over EVB?  I wouldn’t say they are
competing directly from the technology perspective. There are
two ways you can design your virtual networks: (a) smart core
with simple edge (see also: voice and Frame Relay switches) or
(b) smart edge with simple core (see also: Internet). EVB makes
option (a) more viable, VXLAN is an early attempt at
implementing option (b).  When discussing virtualized networks I
consider the virtual switches in the hypervisors the network
edge and the physical switches (including top-of-rack switches)
the network core.  Historically, option (b) (smart edge with
simple core) has been proven to scale better ... the largest
example of such architecture is allowing you to read my blog
posts.  Is it correct that EVB isn't implemented yet?  Actually
it is – IBM has just launche
