The M1 modules use non-XL table sizes by default. A Scalable Feature license is required per chassis to enable XL table sizes. When scalability license is applied, all line modules have to be of the XL type. A mix of modules drops overall FIB size to nonXL size This behavior is per VDC, so non XL modules may not affect XL modules in other VDCs License Features

Test Conditions: Nexus 7000 I/O modules load balance all of the traffic across all 5
Fabric Cards. The test was performed with 51,200 OSPF routes, 256 OSPF neighbors (one on each 10GbE port), every packet going through a security ACL of 7000 lines, every packet being rewritten using a 500 line QOS ACL, each line cards was doing 48 Mpps lookup, and Cisco Netflow to track up to 512,000 flows .

OTV Overview
OTV provides layer-2 network connectivity between remote sites over a layer-3 network. OTV is a key enabler for increasing server availability when clusters and virtualized deployments require layer2 connectivity between remote sites connected by a layer-3 IP network. Benefit s: Alternative to EoMPLS, VPLS, and DWDM for extending layer-2 networks
Optimized control plane with loop-prevention supporting point-to-cloud connectivity
