Imagine a scenario where virtual machines in different networks exist on two different compute nodes, as demonstrated in the following diagram:
Traffic from the blue virtual machine instance on Compute A to the red virtual machine instance on Compute B will first be forwarded from the instance to its local gateway through the integration bridge and to the router namespace, as shown here:
Source MAC |
Destination MAC |
Source IP |
Destination IP |
Blue VM |
Blue router interface |
Blue VM |
Red VM ... |
