Abstract
At least one processing device comprises a processor coupled to a memory and implements virtualization infrastructure including a first container comprising a software agent of a locator-identifier separation protocol. The software agent is configured to communicate with a locator-identifier mapping system that associates identifiers of respective endpoints with respective locators in accordance with the locator-identifier separation protocol. The endpoints comprise respective ones of a plurality of additional containers of the virtualization infrastructure. The first container may be coupled to the plurality of additional containers via a bridge element that combines virtual interfaces of respective ones of the additional containers into a single physical network interface. The first container may additionally be coupled to a network via a router configured to operate in accordance with the locator-identifier separation protocol as an ingress tunnel router with respect to inbound packets and as an egress tunnel router with respect to outbound packets.
