具体实施方式
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明，其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时，除非另有表示，不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述 的实施方式并不代表与本公开相一致的所有实施方式。相反，它们仅是与如所附权利要求书中所详述的、本公开的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
本公开以下实施例中提供了一种报文转发方法，以及一种可以应用该方法的网关设备。
在本公开的示例中，控制器可以维护一个资源池，该资源池中包含有多个BRAS网元，所有的BRAS网元功能对等，可以相互备份；控制器可以对资源池中的BRAS网元进行分组，将至少两个BRAS网元分为同一个分组。BRAS网元可以是物理BRAS设备，也可以是基于x86服务器平台的BRAS虚拟化软件(vBRAS)。
如图1所示，控制器100对BRAS网元进行分组，其中分组1包括BRAS网元101至103。控制器100将分组1指定给汇聚交换机(HJSW)105。本公开实施例中，汇聚交换机(HJSW)105及其对应的BRAS网元101至103之间增加了一个网关设备104，网关设备104可以是交换机或路由器等。汇聚交换机105与网关设备104之间建立有VXLAN(Virtual eXtensible LAN，可扩展虚拟局域网络)隧道；网关设备104与BRAS网元101至103之间分别建立有VXLAN隧道；用户终端经由OLT 106接入汇聚交换机105。OLT106与汇聚交换机105之间建立QinQ(双层标签)隧道。
建立VXLAN隧道时进行如下的配置：
在汇聚交换机105上配置VXLAN隧道(Tunnel)，指定该VXLAN隧道的源IP地址为汇聚交换机105的IP地址，目的IP地址为网关设备104的IP地址；在汇聚交换机105上创建VSI，在该VSI内创建VXLAN；将AC(接入电路)接口、该VSI、以及该VXLAN隧道关联。从而，在汇聚交换机105上，AC接口、VSI、VXLAN隧道、以及VXLAN形成了对应关系。
在网关设备104上配置针对汇聚交换机105的VXLAN隧道，称为第一VXLAN隧道，该第一VXLAN隧道的源IP地址为网关设备104的IP地址、目的IP地址为汇聚交换机105的IP地址。针对分组1内的每一个BRAS网元，在网关设备104上配置VXLAN隧道，称为第二VXLAN隧道，该第二VXLAN隧道的源IP地址为网关设备104的IP地址、目的IP地址为该BRAS网元的IP地址；在网关设备104上创建VSI，在该VSI内创建VXLAN；将该VSI、配置的所有第二VXLAN隧道、以及配置的第一VXLAN隧道绑定。从而，在网关设备上，VSI、第二VXLAN隧道、第一VXLAN隧道、以及VXLAN形成了对应关系。
在分组1内的每一个BRAS网元上配置VXLAN隧道，指定该VXLAN隧道的源IP地址为该BRAS网元的IP地址、目的IP地址为网关设备104的IP地址；在该BRAS网元上创建 VSI，在该VSI内创建VXLAN；将该VSI和该VXLAN隧道绑定。从而，在分组1内的每一个BRAS网元上，VSI、VXLAN隧道、以及VXLAN形成了对应关系。
通过上述配置过程，控制器100在汇聚交换机105与网关设备104之间建立VXLAN隧道；并且，在网关设备104与分组1内的每一个BRAS网元之间建立VXLAN隧道得到一组VXLAN隧道。在配置完成之后，用户终端就可以通过汇聚交换机105接入BRAS网元了。
用户终端→BRAS网元的上行方向的MAC地址学习和报文转发处理流程如下：
用户终端发出单播用户报文。
汇聚交换机105从AC接口上接收到该单播用户报文之后，确定该单播用户报文所属的VXLAN，对该单播用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习，即，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中添加包含该源MAC地址与该AC接口的对应关系的MAC表项；根据该单播用户报文的目的MAC地址，在该MAC地址表中查找对应的VXLAN隧道，根据该VXLAN隧道对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文转发给网关设备104。
网关设备104通过第一VXLAN隧道接收到该VXLAN报文之后，对该VXLAN报文进行解封装得到单播用户报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，对该单播用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习，即，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中添加包含该源MAC地址与该第一VXLAN隧道的对应关系的MAC表项；根据该单播用户报文的目的MAC地址，在该MAC地址表中查找对应的第二VXLAN隧道，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过该第二VXLAN隧道转发给BRAS网元。
BRAS网元接收到该VXLAN报文之后，对该VXLAN报文进行解封装得到单播用户报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，对该单播用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习，即，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中添加包含该源MAC地址与收到该VXLAN报文的VXLAN隧道的对应关系的MAC表项，并对该单播用户报文进行相应处理，例如，将解封装得到的协议报文上送协议栈，将解封装得到的数据报文转发至公网等。
BRAS网元→用户终端的下行方向的MAC地址学习和报文转发处理流程如下：
当BRAS网元需要发送单播用户报文时，BRAS网元确定该单播用户报文所属的VXLAN，根据该单播用户报文对应的目的MAC地址，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中查找对应的VXLAN隧道，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过该VXLAN隧道转发给网关设备104。其中，要发送的单播用户报文例如可以是，BRAS网元自身生成的单播用户报文，或者BRAS网元从公网中收到的单播用户报文等；该单播用户报文 对应的目的MAC地址可以是，该单播用户报文中携带的目的MAC地址，也可以是该单播用户报文中携带的目的IP地址对应的MAC地址。
网关设备104通过第二VXLAN隧道接收到该VXLAN报文之后，对该VXLAN报文进行解封装得到单播用户报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，对该单播用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习，即，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中添加包含该源MAC地址与该第二VXLAN隧道的对应关系的MAC表项；根据该单播用户报文的目的MAC地址，在该MAC地址表中查找对应的第一VXLAN隧道，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过该第一VXLAN隧道发送给汇聚交换机105。
汇聚交换机105在接收到该VXLAN报文之后，对该VXLAN报文进行解封装得到单播用户报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，对该单播用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习，即，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中添加包含该源MAC地址与收到该VXLAN报文的VXLAN隧道的对应关系的MAC表项；根据该单播用户报文的目的MAC地址，在该MAC地址表中查找对应的AC接口，将该单播用户报文通过该AC接口转发给用户终端。
通过上述处理流程，网关设备104需要学习用户终端的MAC地址，也要学习BRAS网元的MAC地址，这样可能会导致MAC表项资源不足，为了解决该问题，本公开实施例中对网关设备104的MAC地址学习进行了改进，并基于此，对网关设备104的报文转发处理流程进行了改进。
首先，在网关设备104上对同一VXLAN对应的第一VXLAN隧道和第二VXLAN隧道进行分组，即，将该第一VXLAN隧道分成一组，称为第一隧道组，并将第二VXLAN隧道分成另一组，称为第二隧道组。具体的分组方式可以是：
控制器100在网关设备104上配置第一VXLAN隧道时，还指定该第一VXLAN隧道的属性为第一属性，在网关设备104上配置第二VXLAN隧道时，还指定该第二VXLAN隧道的属性为第二属性，则对应于同一VXLAN的第一属性的第一VXLAN隧道构成第一隧道组，第二属性的第二VXLAN隧道构成第二隧道组。或者，创建第一隧道组和第二隧道组，将第一VXLAN隧道加入到第一隧道组中，将第二VXLAN隧道加入第二隧道组中。显然，还可以采用其它分组方式，本公开实施例对此不做限定。
基于上述分组，用户终端→BRAS网元的上行方向的MAC地址学习和报文转发处理流程如下。
用户终端发出单播用户报文。
汇聚交换机105在接收到该单播用户报文时的MAC地址学习和报文转发处理不变，从而，将该单播用户报文封装为VXLAN报文并发送给网关设备104。
如图2所示，网关设备104通过第一VXLAN隧道接收到该VXLAN报文之后，会执行以下步骤：
步骤S201，对该VXLAN报文进行解封装得到单播用户报文；
步骤S202，禁止对该单播用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习；
即，网关设备104不会学习用户终端的MAC地址。
步骤S203，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，根据该单播用户报文的目的MAC地址，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中，查找对应的第二VXLAN隧道；
步骤S204，判断是否查找到了对应的第二VXLAN隧道，若是，则执行步骤S205，否则，执行步骤S206；
步骤S205，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过该第二VXLAN隧道转发给BRAS网元；
步骤S206，查找该VXLAN对应的第二VXLAN隧道，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，通过该第二VXLAN隧道转发给分组1内的每一个BRAS网元。
其中，在步骤S206中，通过该VXLAN报文的VXLAN头中的VXLAN ID、外层IP头中的源IP地址和目的IP地址，可以确定出接收到该VXLAN报文的第一VXLAN隧道属于第一隧道组。从而可以将所确定的第一隧道组对应的第二隧道组中的各第二VXLAN隧道确定为该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN对应的第二VXLAN隧道。针对确定的每一个第二VXLAN隧道，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过该第二VXLAN隧道转发给BRAS网元，从而，能够广播给分组1内的所有BRAS网元。
同样，若步骤S201中解封装得到的是广播用户报文，则也会执行步骤S206的转发流程，从而，广播给分组1内的所有BRAS网元。
BRAS网元在接收到该VXLAN报文之后的MAC地址学习和报文转发处理流程不变。
BRAS网元→用户终端的下行方向的MAC地址学习和报文转发处理流程如下：
当BRAS网元需要发送单播用户报文时，BRAS网元对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文发送给网关设备104。
如图3所示，网关设备104通过第二VXLAN隧道接收到该VXLAN报文之后，会执行以下步骤。
步骤S301，对该VXLAN报文进行解封装得到单播用户报文。
步骤S302，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，查找该VXLAN对应的第一VXLAN隧道，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，通过该第一VXLAN隧道发送给汇聚交换机105。
具体的，在步骤S302中，通过该VXLAN报文的VXLAN头中的VXLAN ID、外层IP头中的源IP地址和目的IP地址，可以确定出接收到该VXLAN报文的第二VXLAN隧道属于第二隧道组。从而可以将所确定的第二隧道组对应的第一隧道组中的第一VXLAN隧道，确定为该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN对应的第一VXLAN隧道。由于第一隧道组中只有一个第一VXLAN隧道，因此，对该单播用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过该第一VXLAN隧道转发给汇聚交换机105。
步骤S303，对该单播用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习，即，在该VXLAN对应的MAC地址表中添加包含该源MAC地址与该第二VXLAN隧道的对应关系的MAC表项。
同样，若步骤S301中解封装得到的是广播用户报文，也会执行步骤S302的转发流程，从而转发给汇聚交换机105。
汇聚交换机105接收到该VXLAN报文之后的MAC地址学习和报文转发处理流程不变，从而，最终将解封装得到的单播用户报文通过AC接口转发给用户终端。
本公开上述实施例的方法中，在汇聚交换机105及其对应的至少一个BRAS网元之间增加了网关设备104，网关设备104和汇聚交换机105之间建立有VXLAN隧道，网关设备104和该至少一个BRAS网元之间建立有VXLAN隧道；在通过VXLAN隧道接收到汇聚交换机105发来的第一VXLAN报文之后，网关设备104对第一VXLAN报文进行解封装得到第一用户报文，对该第一用户报文进行VXLAN封装后通过VXLAN隧道转发给BRAS网元；在通过VXLAN隧道接收到BRAS网元发来的第二VXLAN报文之后，网关设备104对第二VXLAN报文进行解封装得到第二用户报文，对第二用户报文进行VXLAN封装后通过VXLAN隧道转发给汇聚交换机105，从而实现了BRAS网元与用户终端之间的报文交互。
由于通过网关设备104将汇聚交换机105与该至少一个BRAS网元之间的VXLAN隧道进行了分段，分为了汇聚交换机105与网关设备104之间的VXLAN隧道、以及网关设备104与该至少一个BRAS网元之间的VXLAN隧道，因此，当该至少一个BRAS网元的数量发生 了变化，例如，增加或减少时，只需修改网关设备104上的VXLAN隧道的相关配置即可，减少了对汇聚交换机的修改工作。
另外，网关设备104在通过VXLAN隧道接收到汇聚交换机105发来的用户报文之后，无需学习该用户报文的源MAC地址，即无需对用户终端的MAC地址进行学习，由于用户终端的数量比较大，因此，可以有效减少网关设备104需要学习的MAC地址的数量，从而节约了网关设备104的MAC表项资源。
网关设备104无需对用户终端的MAC地址进行学习，在通过VXLAN隧道接收到BRAS网元发来的用户报文之后，会通过所属VXLAN对应的本设备与汇聚交换机105之间的VXLAN隧道转发给汇聚交换机105，由于该VXLAN仅对应一个本设备与汇聚交换机105之间的VXLAN隧道，因此，不会导致报文的泛洪。
以图1所示的实际网络为例，对上述实施例的方法进行详细说明。在如图1所示的城域网中，网关设备104连接汇聚交换机HJSW 105，以及BRAS网元101～BRAS网元103。BRAS网元101～BRAS网元103划分为同一分组，称为分组1。用户终端1(图1中未示出)通过OLT 106连接至HJSW 105的AC接口AC1。
控制器100在HJSW 105上配置VXLAN隧道Tunnel1，指定Tunnel1的源IP地址为HJSW105的IP地址HJSW 105-IP、目的IP地址为网关设备104的IP地址GW-IP，配置VSI A，在VSI A内创建VXLAN1，将AC1、VSI A、以及Tunnel1关联。
控制器100在网关设备104上针对HJSW 105配置第一VXLAN隧道Tunnel1，指定Tunnel1的源IP地址为GW-IP、目的IP地址为HJSW 105-IP；针对BRAS网元101～BRAS网元103中的每一个BRAS网元，分别配置第二VXLAN隧道Tunnel2、Tunnel3和Tunnel4，指定Tunnel2、Tunnel3和Tunnel4的源IP地址均为GW-IP、目的IP地址分别为BRAS网元1的IP地址BRAS 101-IP、BRAS网元2的IP地址BRAS 102-IP和BRAS网元3的IP地址BRAS103-IP；配置VSI A，在VSI A内创建VXLAN1，将VSI A、Tunnel1、Tunnel2、Tunnel3、以及Tunnel4关联；将Tunnel1划分到第一隧道组中，将Tunnel2、Tunnel3、Tunnel4划分到第二隧道组中。
控制器100在BRAS网元101上配置VXLAN隧道Tunnel2，指定Tunnel2的源IP地址为BRAS 101-IP、目的IP地址为GW-IP，配置VSI A，在VSI A内创建VXLAN1，将VSI A和Tunnel2关联。控制器100在BRAS网元102上配置VXLAN隧道Tunnel3，指定Tunnel3的源IP地址为BRAS 102-IP、目的IP地址为GW-IP，配置VSI A，在VSI A内创建VXLAN1， 将VSI A和Tunnel3关联。控制器100在BRAS网元103上配置VXLAN隧道Tunnel4，指定Tunnel4的源IP地址为BRAS 103-IP、目的IP地址为GW-IP，配置VSI A，在VSI A内创建VXLAN1，将VSI A和Tunnel4关联。
在PPPoE(Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet，基于以太网的点对点协议)应用场景中，BRAS网元101的MAC地址为BRAS 101-MAC，BRAS网元102的MAC地址为BRAS102-MAC，BRAS网元3的MAC地址为BRAS 103-MAC，用户终端1的MAC地址为USER1。在该场景中的处理流程如下：
用户终端1发出首报文，该首报文的源MAC地址为USER1、目的MAC地址是广播MAC地址；HJSW 105通过AC1接收到该首报文之后，确定该首报文所属的VXLAN为VXLAN1，在VXLAN1对应的MAC地址表中，添加包含USER1和AC1的对应关系的MAC表项，如表1-1第2行所示，并且，确定VXLAN1对应的VXLAN隧道为Tunnel1，对该首报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过Tunnel1发送给网关设备104。
表1-1
MAC地址 VSI/VXLAN ID 出接口
USER1 VSI A/VXLAN1 AC1
网关设备104通过Tunnel1接收到该VXLAN报文之后，进行解封装得到该首报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN为VXLAN1，查找VXLAN1对应的第二隧道组中的Tunnel2、Tunnel3、Tunnel4，针对查找到的每一个VXLAN隧道，对该首报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过该VXLAN隧道转发给相对应的BRAS网元，从而，可以将该首报文广播给BRAS网元101、BRAS网元102和BRAS网元103。
BRAS网元101收到该VXLAN报文之后，进行解封装得到该首报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN为VXLAN1，在VXLAN1对应的MAC地址表中，添加包含USER1和收到该VXLAN报文的Tunnel2的对应关系的MAC表项，如表2第2行所示，并且，将该首报文上报给控制器100。
同样，BRAS网元102和BRAS网元103也会执行上述操作，从而添加USER1对应的MAC表项，并将该首报文上报给控制器100。
表2
MAC地址 VSI/VXLAN ID 出接口
USER1 VSI A/VXLAN1 Tunnel2
控制器100在收到BRAS网元101、BRAS网元102和BRAS网元103上报的首报文之后，选择负载最小的BRAS网元101发送回应通知；BRAS网元101收到该回应通知之后，针对该首报文生成回应报文，该回应报文的源MAC地址是BRAS 101-MAC、目的MAC地址是USER1，然后，根据USER1在如表2所示的MAC地址表中查找到对应的Tunnel2，对该回应报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过Tunnel2发送给网关设备104。
网关设备104通过Tunnel2接收到该VXLAN报文之后，进行解封装得到回应报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN为VXLAN1，在VXLAN1对应的MAC地址表中添加包含BRAS 101-MAC和Tunnel2的对应关系的MAC表项，如表3第2行所示，并且，查找VXLAN1对应的第一隧道组中的Tunnel1，对该回应报文进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过Tunnel1转发给HJSW 105。
表3
MAC地址 VSI/VXLAN ID 出接口
BRAS 101-MAC VSI A/VXLAN1 Tunnel2
HJSW 105接收到该VXLAN报文之后，进行解封装得到该回应报文，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN为VXLAN1，在VXLAN1对应的MAC地址表中添加包含BRAS 101-MAC和收到该VXLAN报文的Tunnel1的对应关系的MAC表项，如表1-2第3行所示，此时，表1-1更新为表1-2；并且，HJSW 105根据该回应报文的目的MAC地址USER1，在如表1-2所示的MAC地址表中查找对应的AC1，通过AC1将该回应报文转发给用户终端1。
表1-2
MAC地址 VSI/VXLAN ID 出接口
USER1 VSI A/VXLAN1 AC1
BRAS 101-MAC VSI A/VXLAN1 Tunnel1
后续，用户终端1发出的后续报文即为单播报文，称为报文2，该报文2的目的MAC地 址为BRAS 101-MAC；HJSW 105根据报文2的目的MAC地址BRAS 101-MAC，在如表1-2所示的MAC地址表中查找对应的Tunnel1，对该报文2进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过Tunnel1转发给网关设备104。
网关设备104在通过Tunnel1接收到该VXLAN报文后，进行解封装得到报文2，根据该报文2的目的MAC地址BRAS 101-MAC，在如表3所示的MAC地址表中查找对应的Tunnel2，对报文2进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过Tunnel2转发给BRAS网元101。
BRAS网元101接收到该VXLAN报文后，解封装得到报文2，对该报文2进行相应处理。
当BRAS网元101想要向用户终端1发送报文3时，根据该报文3的目的MAC地址USER1，在如表2所示的MAC地址表中查找对应的Tunnel2，对报文3进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过Tunnel2转发给网关设备104。
网关设备104通过Tunnel2接收到该VXLAN报文之后，进行解封装得到该报文3，确定该VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN为VXLAN1，查找VXLAN1对应的第一隧道组中的Tunnel1，对该报文3进行VXLAN封装后，将封装得到的VXLAN报文通过Tunnel1转发给HJSW 105。
HJSW 105接收到该VXLAN报文之后，进行解封装得到报文3，根据该报文3的目的MAC地址USER1，在如表1-2所示的MAC地址表中查找对应的AC1，从而将该报文3通过AC1发送给用户终端1。

图4为本公开示例提供的一种网关设备的硬件结构示意图。该网关设备可包括处理器10、存储有机器可执行指令的机器可读存储介质20。处理器10和机器可读存储介质20可经由系统总线30通信。并且，通过读取并执行机器可读存储介质20中与报文转发控制逻辑60对应的机器可执行指令，处理器10可执行上文描述的报文转发方法。除了图4所示的处理器10、机器可读存储介质20、系统总线30，根据该网关设备的实际功能，还可以包括其他硬件，对此不再赘述。
本文中提到的机器可读存储介质20可以是任何电子、磁性、光学或其它物理存储装置，可以包含或存储信息，如可执行指令、数据，等等。例如，机器可读存储介质可以是：RAM(Radom Access Memory，随机存取存储器)、易失存储器、非易失性存储器、闪存、存储驱动器(如硬盘驱动器)、固态硬盘、任何类型的存储盘(如光盘、dvd等)，或者类似的 存储介质，或者它们的组合。
请参考图5，从功能上划分，上述报文转发控制逻辑60可以包括：接收模块601、解封装模块602和封装发送模块603，其中：
接收模块601，用于通过网关设备与汇聚交换机之间建立的第一VXLAN隧道接收汇聚交换机发来的第一VXLAN报文，以及通过网关设备与BRAS网元之间建立的第二VXLAN隧道接收BRAS网元发来的第二VXLAN报文；
解封装模块602，用于在接收模块601接收到第一VXLAN报文之后，对第一VXLAN报文进行解封装得到第一用户报文；还用于在接收模块601接收到第二VXLAN报文之后，对第二VXLAN报文进行解封装得到第二用户报文；
封装发送模块603，用于对解封装模块602解封装得到的第一用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，通过第二VXLAN隧道发送给BRAS网元；还用于对解封装模块602解封装得到的第二用户报文进行VXLAN封装后，通过第一VXLAN隧道转发给汇聚交换机。
其中，如图6所示，上述报文转发控制逻辑60中还包括：关联模块604和分组模块606。关联模块604，用于将第一VXLAN隧道和多个第二VXLAN隧道，关联到同一个VXLAN。分组模块606，将第一VXLAN隧道划分到第一隧道组，将多个第二VXLAN隧道划分到第二隧道组。
如图6所示，上述报文转发控制逻辑60中还包括：学习模块605，用于在解封装模块602对第一VXLAN报文进行解封装得到第一用户报文之后，禁止对第一用户报文的源MAC地址进行学习。
其中，封装发送模块602通过以下步骤实现对第一用户报文进行VXLAN封装：若第一用户报文是未知单播报文或广播报文，则确定第一VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，获取该VXLAN对应的至少一个第二VXLAN隧道，根据获取到的每个第二VXLAN隧道分别对第一用户报文进行VXLAN封装。
封装发送模块602通过以下步骤实现对第二用户报文进行VXLAN封装：确定第二VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN，获取该VXLAN对应的第一VXLAN隧道，根据获取到的第一VXLAN隧道对第二用户报文进行VXLAN封装。
其中，封装发送模块602通过以下步骤实现获取该VXLAN对应的第二VXLAN隧道：确定接收第一VXLAN报文的第一VXLAN隧道属于第一隧道组；将所确定的第一隧道组对应的第二隧道组中的各第二VXLAN隧道确定为该第一VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN对应的 第二VXLAN隧道。
封装发送模块602通过以下步骤实现获取该VXLAN对应的第一VXLAN隧道：确定接收第二VXLAN报文的第二VXLAN隧道属于第二隧道组；将所确定的第二隧道组对应的第一隧道组中的第一VXLAN隧道确定为所述第二VXLAN报文所属的VXLAN对应的第一VXLAN隧道。
