Dell EMC Networking Data Center Switches
100GbE Multirate VXLAN BGP-EVPN Reconvergence & Scalability Evaluation

Abstract:
Data center architects require flexibility, efficiency and resilience in
networks. Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is an open network virtualization
technology that allows Layer 2 networks to be scaled across Layer 3
networks. Defined in IETF RFC 7348, VXLANs can provide the simplicity of
Layer 2 networks over high-performance, resilient Layer 3 infrastructure.
Dell EMC commissioned Tolly to benchmark the failure recovery of four of its
data center switch offerings configured to function as a VTEP. The switches
evaluated were Dell EMC Z9264F-ON, S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON & S5296-ON. Tests
involved creating physical network failures to measure the recovery time in
several scenarios as well as scaling L2/L3 VNIs and demonstrating robustness.
The Dell EMC switches delivered rapid recovery in all three scenarios tested.
Additionally, they scaled to 2,000 L2 VNIs and 256 L3 VNIs demonstrating
robustness in response to various failure scenarios.
