Abstract:
A first VXLAN Tunnel End Point (VTEP) determines a simulation packet for simulating a service forwarding path of a service packet forwarded from a first Virtual Machine (VM) accessing the first VTEP to a second VM accessing a second VTEP when the service packet sent by the first VM does not reach the second VM. A packet character parameter of the simulation packet is the same as a packet character parameter of the service packet. The first VTEP calculates the packet character parameter of the simulation packet to determine a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) source port number, performs VXLAN encapsulation for the simulation packet according to the determined UDP source port number and a VXLAN tunnel identity in a local register entry matching with the simulation packet, and forwards the simulation packet with the VXLAN encapsulation via a VXLAN tunnel corresponding to the VXLAN tunnel identity.

Claim (Index 1):
A packet loss locating method applied to a Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN), comprising:\n determining, by a first VXLAN Tunnel End Point (VTEP), a simulation packet for simulating a service forwarding path of a service packet forwarded from a first Virtual Machine (VM) accessing the first VTEP to a second VM accessing a second VTEP when the service packet sent by the first VM does not reach the second VM, and a packet character parameter of the simulation packet being the same as a packet character parameter of the service packet; calculating, by the first VTEP, the packet character parameter of the simulation packet according to a local chip forwarding logic to determine a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) source port number, performs VXLAN encapsulation for the simulation packet according to the determined UDP source port number and a VXLAN tunnel identity in a local register entry matching with the simulation packet, and forwards the simulation packet with the VXLAN encapsulation via a VXLAN tunnel corresponding to the VXLAN tunnel identity, so that a device receiving the simulation packet with the VXLAN encapsulation sends to a packet loss locating device a packet loss locating parameter for determining a packet loss location of the service packet by the packet loss locating device.
