I understand you are only testing for performance but it's worth mentioning that VXLAN does encapsulation and allows for a wider set of use-cases than the solutions that require cluster nodes share a L2.
Other than that, great benchmarking! IPvlan is pretty neat, it's the natural evolution of macvlan and hopefully catches on quickly.

- alvelcom 11y agoDoes this mean, that NICs computes checksums inside vxlan payload? As far as I understand, the major additional cost of vxlan comes from additional passing thought the whole network stack, which includes iptables and routing.
- virtuallynathan 11y agoI think it both adds and strips the VXLAN header and then does the checksums. Probably depends on the vendor.
