Virtual Extensible LAN Virtual Extensible LAN Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is a network virtualization technology that attempts to address the scalability problems associated with large cloud computing deployments. It uses a VLAN-like encapsulation technique to encapsulate OSI layer 2 Ethernet frames within layer 4 UDP datagrams, using 4789 as the default IANA-assigned destination UDP port number. VXLAN endpoints, which terminate VXLAN tunnels and may be either virtual or physical switch ports, are known as VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEPs). VXLAN is an evolution of efforts to standardize on an overlay encapsulation protocol. It increases scalability up to 16 million logical networks and allows for
Western Australian Regional Computing Centre Western Australian Regional Computing Centre WARCC is a five letter acronym that stands for Western Australian Regional Computing Centre. It was part of the University of Western Australia, parts of which were spun off in 1991, and renamed Winthrop Technology. WARCC was formed formally on 1-Jan-72, and ceased in 1991. It was formed in order to provide a range of computing services to the University, other universities in Western Australia, government departments, and some private companies.
