23 Hyper-V Network Virtualization

24 Requirements to transform networking Deliver networking as part of pooled, automated infrastructure Ensure multitenant isolation, scale and performance Expand datacenter capacity seamlessly as per business needs Reduce operational complexity

25 Abstracting the network with Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) Multiple virtual networks on a physical network Contoso virtual machine Fabrikam virtual machine Contoso network Fabrikam network Each virtual network has illusion it is running as a physical network VIRTUALIZATION How network virtualization works Overlays physical network Encapsulation using NVGRE protocol Physical server Physical network

26 Hyper-V Network Virtualization Benefits Workload Owners Enterprises Hosters Private/Public Cloud Datacenter Admins Seamless migration to the cloud Move n-tier topology to the cloud Preserve policies, VM settings, IP addresses Private Cloud datacenter consolidation and efficiencies Extension of datacenter into hybrid cloud Incremental integration of acquired company network infrastructure Bring Your own IP Bring Your network topology Scalable multitenancy Flexible VM placement without reconfiguration Decoupling of server and network admin roles increases agility

27 Hyper-V Network Virtualization Enhancements Windows Server 2012 HNV is a NDIS LWF Scalable network virtualization solution Centralized policy + distributed router Works across physical subnets Contoso network Fabrikam network Windows Server 2012 R2 VIRTUALIZATION Physical network HNV is part of the Hyper-V Switch Dynamically learn Customer Addresses Support Hyper-V Clustering Enhanced performance + diagnostics

28 Hyper-V Network Virtualization Concepts

29 Hyper-V Network Virtualization Concepts VM Network (called a routing domain in PowerShell) Network isolation boundary Routing between VM networks must be explicit Comprised of one or more Virtual Subnets Virtual Subnet (VSID) Broadcast boundary VM Network Contoso Corp. Contoso R&D Net Contoso Subnet1 Multi-Tenant Datacenter Fabrikam Corp. Fabrikam HR Net Fabrikam Subnet2 Virtual Subnet Contoso Subnet2 Contoso Subnet3 Fabrikam Subnet1

30 Provider Address VSID GRE Key 5001 MAC CA GRE Key 6001 MAC CA Customer Address NVGRE Packet Encapsulation Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) Customer Address Provider Address

31 What s new in R2 Architecture change. HNV now in the Virtual Switch Extensions and ACLs work now Broadcast/Multicast support Dynamic Guest IPs DHCP inside VM Networks Guest Clustering

32 Hyper-V Network Virtualization Performance

33 NVGRE Encapsulated Task Offload Typically NIC offloads work on the CA packet Most offloads break when using GRE & NVGRE Large Send Offload (LSO) Receive Side Scaling (RSS) Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) NVGRE Encapsulated Task Offload was introduced in Windows Server 2012 to ensure no performance loss Emulex and Mellanox have announced products supporting NVGRE Task Offload

34 Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro 10GbE Performance Throughput (Gb/s) CPU Overhead (CPU Cycles per Byte) % 10 80% Higher Is Better Lower Is Better 0 NVGRE with ConnectX-3 Pro Offloads NVGRE Without Offloads 0 NVGRE with ConnectX-3 Pro Offloads NVGRE Without Offloads

35 HNV + NIC Teaming (NEW in R2) Inbound and outbound spread on virtualized traffic Higher performance with teamed NICs Utilizes LBFO s new Dynamic Mode Provider Addresses configured with a MAC address *-NetVirtualizationProviderAddress cmdlets updated to take a MAC address Optimal performance when you have 1 (or more) PAs per NIC in the team Ex. A NIC team of 2 NICs should have 2 or more PAs and the CAs spread between them
