Abstract
A mechanism is created within the tunnel context, in which a plurality of tunnels may resolve a given customer's traffic associated with a virtual local area network. The use of a tunnel context may allow distribution of traffic across multiple servers and other devices, such as across top of rack switches and different parts of the fabric infrastructure.
