A dual-leaf IP Fabric with intelligent load balancing. Using VXLAN with native ECMP (as opposed to static LAGs), the fabric performed per-packet or per-flow load balancing depending on configuration (e.g., flowlet switching). A leaf-spine IP Fabric using VXLAN-BGP EVPN

An IP Fabric with EVPN Multi-Homing (ESI – Ethernet Segment Identifier). The fabric stretched the legacy VLANs across a DCI using EVPN Type 2 routes over a WAN. 48x Leaf switches (25GbE to servers
