Network Virtualization

What role do overlay tunnels serve in an overlay software-defined networking (SDN) solution?

  • A The overlay tunnels provide optimization of traffic for performance and resilience.
  • B The overlay tunnels provide load balancing and scale out for applications.
  • C The overlay tunnels provide microsegmentation for workloads.
  • D The overlay tunnels abstract the underlay network topology.
Explanation

Overlay tunnels create a logical topology over the physical underlay by encapsulating traffic between tunnel endpoints. This decouples the overlay’s logical connectivity from the underlay network’s physical topology.
