Selected Answer: A The answer is **A. VXLAN**. VXLAN is a network virtualization technology that lets Layer 2 networks be extended over Layer 3 networks. It uses a MAC-in-UDP encapsulation scheme to build a Layer 2 tunnel across a Layer 3 network. IaaS service providers use VXLAN to extend Layer 2 segments across their networks so customers can have one Layer 2 network even when their devices are in different locations. This lets customers move their devices between locations easily without needing to reconfigure their networks. The other options are not correct: * VTEP (Virtual Tunnel Endpoint) is a device that encapsulates and decapsulates VXLAN traffic. * VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) is a technology that allows multiple routing tables to exist on a single router. * VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a Layer 2 technology that segments a network into multiple broadcast domains. I hope this helps!
