Short description: Network virtualisation technology
Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) is a network virtualization technology that attempts to alleviate the scalability problems associated with large cloud computing deployments. It uses Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) to tunnel layer 2 packets over layer 3 networks.REFERENCE FOR RFC7637 IS NOT DEFINED YET. You are invited to add it here. Its principal backer is Microsoft.[1]
