Why we have used UDP to encapsulate VxLAN , how the receiver will deal with out of order packets ?

Hi @Rishabhkumar8045 ,

The receiver will NEVER get out of order packets. So it's not a worry.  This is because every packet for every flow is sent on the same path, the path being calculated from a hash of these five things:

1. Source IP,
2. Destination IP,
3. Source UDP Port,
4. Destination UDP Port and
5. protocol (which of course is UDP).

I hope this helps
