Abstract
In using a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) for stream processing, a management system allocates resources for a streaming application based on an operator graph of the streaming application. The management system assigns the resources to a group of VXLAN segments based on the operator graph of the streaming application. A first processing element of the streaming application multicasts data on the group of VXLAN segments. A second processing element on a given VXLAN segment of the group of VXLAN segments receives the data. If the second processing element is an intended recipient of the data, then the second processing element processes the data. If the second processing element is not the intended recipient of the data, then the second processing element ignores the data.
