Abstract
In an example, a SDN controller may acquire a path maximum transmission unit (PMTU) of a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) tunnel from a source VXLAN tunnel end point (VTEP) to a destination VTEP of a data packet, and may transmit a control entry to the source VTEP in such a way that an individual VXLAN packet has a length within the packet length corresponding to the PMTU.
