Explanation

When two virtual machines are connected on the same overlay segment, they are part of the same Layer 2 broadcast domain. In this case, the communication between the two VMs is happening within the same broadcast domain, which means that broadcast traffic can be sent to all devices on the segment. Since the ping is successful, the two VMs can communicate directly over Layer 2 without needing routing.
