Rack networking at a glance

A fault-tolerant underlay network optimizes packet delivery between physical hosts within and across racks. Packets between VM instances are encapsulated onto overlay networks, governed by policies that you define.

DDM

Delay Driven Multipath performs underlay routing, measures delay, calculates multipath decisions and helps to avoid congestion.

OPTE

The Oxide Packet Transformation Engine implements firewall rules, encapsulates packets onto Geneve overlays, implements VPC routing and performs address translation.

P4-based switch management

The built-in switch management platform drives the P4-programmable rack switch from a PCIe connected compute sled. Loads and manages data-plane P4 programs.

Integrates the attached compute sled's network stack with the switch ASIC to support stateful protocols such as NDP and BGP.
