  "The FM6764 ASIC supports OpenFlow 1.0 control protocols and VXLAN,
   the extended LAN virtualization protocol espoused by VMware that puts
   a Layer 2 overlay on top of Layer 3 networks so virtual network links
   don't break as virtual machines flit across data centers. The Fulcrum chip
   also supports the NVGRE alternative that Microsoft, Intel, Dell, and
   Hewlett-Packard have offered."
