===================
VXLAN Data Networks
===================
Virtual eXtensible Local Area Networks \(|VXLANs|\) data networks are an
alternative to |VLAN| data networks.
A |VXLAN| data network is implemented over a range of |VXLAN| Network
Identifiers \(|VNIs|.\) This is similar to the |VLAN| option, but allows
multiple data networks to be defined over the same physical network using
unique |VNIs| defined in segmentation ranges.
Packets sent between |VMs| over virtual project networks backed by a |VXLAN|
data network are encapsulated with IP, |UDP|, and |VXLAN| headers and sent as
Layer 3 packets. The IP addresses of the source and destination compute nodes
are included in the outer IP header.

|prod-os| supports two configurations for |VXLANs|:

Before you can create project networks on a |VXLAN| provider network, you must
define at least one network segment range.
