Summary: | Methods and apparatuses for determining a VXLAN data path failure are provided. In an embodiment, a first data packet comprising an echo request is generated at an originating tunnel end point device in a network. The echo request includes a VXLAN network identifier (VNI) associated with a selected VXLAN segment. A second data packet is generated comprising a header having a format associated with a VXLAN technology, the header comprising a network identifier portion including the VXLAN network identifier (VNI). The first data packet is encapsulated in the second data packet, and the second data packet is transmitted via the selected VXLAN segment. |
