JN0-214 · Question #65
Which two statements are correct about an overlay network? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. The overlay network is built using encapsulation tunnels. D. The overlay network is the virtual network used to connect multiple virtual machines (VMs). An overlay network is a virtual network that is built on top of another network. Nodes in the overlay network are connected by virtual or logical links, each of which corresponds to a path, perhaps through many physical links, in the underlying network. For example, distributed…

Explanation
An overlay network is a virtual network that is built on top of another network. Nodes in the overlay network are connected by virtual or logical links, each of which corresponds to a path, perhaps through many physical links, in the underlying network. For example, distributed systems such as peer-to-peer networks and client-server applications often overlay their own network connections over the physical network connections provided by the Internet.
