A dual-leaf IP Fabric with intelligent load balancing. Using VXLAN with native ECMP (as opposed to static LAGs), the fabric performed per-packet or per-flow load balancing depending on configuration (e.g., flowlet switching).
Note: This paper synthesizes documented outcomes from publicly available case studies from Arista (e.g., Microsoft, LinkedIn), Cisco (e.g., eBay, PayPal), Juniper (e.g., DreamHost, Riot Games), and open-source SONiC deployments. ip fabric success stories
An IP Fabric with EVPN Multi-Homing (ESI – Ethernet Segment Identifier). The fabric stretched the legacy VLANs across a DCI using EVPN Type 2 routes over a WAN. A dual-leaf IP Fabric with intelligent load balancing
A white-box IP Fabric running SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud). 64x 100GbE spines, 256x 40/100GbE leaves. VXLAN with EVPN Type 5 routes (IP prefixes, not just MACs). not just MACs).
