Linux VXLAN Hardware offloading

  • 772

When looking at several guides to setup VxLAN networks on Linux there seems to be 2 options:

  1. Open vSwitch (OVS)
  2. Native Linux VxLAN device.

When using OVS there is an option to use vxlan encap/decap hardware offloading:

$ sudo ovs-vsctl set ... other_config:hw-offload=true

Is there a method to use vxlan encap/decap hardware offloading when using native vxlan devices? If so, how can i enable/disable this hardware offloading and verify this?
