Abstract
A VXLAN multi-tenant inter-networking device packet forwarding system includes a first aggregated networking device coupled to a first host device and a second aggregated networking device that is coupled to second host devices. The first aggregated networking device receives a data packet from the first host device and, in response, identifies a virtual network associated with the first host device. Based on a first and second portion of a virtual network identifier that identifies the virtual network, the first aggregated networking device generates respective first and second packet forwarding identifiers. The first aggregated networking device then provides the first and second packet forwarding identifiers in the data packet, and forwards the data packet to the second aggregated networking device. The second aggregated networking device may then forward the data packet to one of the second host devices based on the first and second packet forwarding identifiers in the data packet.
