summary
VMware/Nicira NVP is a controller-driven network virtualization stack that programs Open vSwitch on hosts and gateways, using tunneled encapsulation (GRE/VXLAN/STT) so VM MAC/IPs ride inside hypervisor-to-hypervisor packets. The controller stays control-plane only and pushes per-flow rules for isolation, HA and scale-out; gateways provide L2 and L3 uplinks with data-plane probing and state failover; service nodes handle multicast/broadcast offload. Operations include port-to-port troubleshooting, traceflow and online control-plane upgrades.
