Abstract
A VTEP data traffic forwarding system includes a second VTEP device coupled to a data traffic provisioning device and a first VTEP device. The second VTEP device identifies a virtual machine directly coupled to the first VTEP device, associates a first VTEP device identifier for the first VTEP device in a database with a virtual machine identifier for the virtual machine, and identifies the association of the first VTEP device identifier and the virtual machine identifier to the data traffic provisioning device, with the association of the first VTEP device identifier and the virtual machine identifier causing the data traffic provisioning device to provide the first VTEP device identifier in data traffic destined for the virtual machine. The second VTEP device then receives data traffic including the first VTEP device identifier from the data traffic provisioning device and, in response, forwards the data traffic to the first VTEP device.
