vPath is a critical component in the VNS architecture. Which two are functions of vPath? (Choose two.)
A. intelligent traffic steering to the VSG
B. offloading the processing from the VSG to the VEM
C. intelligent traffic steering to the VNMC
D. offloading the processing from the VSG to the flow manager
E. deep packet inspection
Correct Answer: AB
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Cisco vPath technology steers traffic, whether inbound or traveling from virtual machine to virtual machine, to the designated Cisco VSGs. A splitprocessing model is applied in which initial packet processing occurs in the Cisco VSG for policy evaluation and enforcement. Subsequent policy enforcement for packets is offloaded directly to Cisco vPath. Cisco vPath provides:
Intelligent traffic steering: Flow classification and redirection to associated Cisco VSGs
Fast path offload: Policy enforcement of flows offloaded by Cisco VSG to Cisco vPath
Service chaining: Insertion of Cisco VSG along with other network services in the traffic path
