In the traditional data center design, inter-subnet forwarding is provided by a centralized router, where traffic traverses across the network to a centralized routing node and back again to its final destination. In a large multi-tenant data center environment this operational model can lead to inefficient use of bandwidth and sub-optimal forwarding.

EOS-4.24.0 adds support for hardware-accelerated sFlow on R3 systems. Without hardware acceleration, all sFlow processing is done in software, which means performance is heavily dependent on the capabilities of the host CPU. Aggressive sampling rates also decrease the amount of processing time available for other EOS applications.

In VXLAN networks, broadcast DHCP requests are head-end-replicated to all VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEP). If a DHCP relay helper address is configured on more than one VTEP, each such VTEP relays the DHCP request to the configured DHCP server. This could potentially overwhelm the DHCP server as it would receive multiple copies of broadcast packets originated from a host connected to one of the VTEPs.

IP Locking is an EOS feature configured on an Ethernet Layer 2 port. When enabled, it ensures that a port will only permit IP and ARP packets with IP source addresses that have been authorized. As of EOS-4.25.0F release update, IP Locking can run in two modes - IPv4 Locking (which will be referred to as IP Locking) and IPv6 Locking, which can be configured using the commands mentioned in the below sections. IP Locking prevents another host on a different interface from claiming ownership of an IP address through either IP or ARP spoofing.
