Architectural Insights into Aviatrix Industry Standard Communication Ports and Protocols
Aviatrix offers a comprehensive cloud network platform that seamlessly integrates security, visibility, and automation features. The Aviatrix solution is an SDN (Software-Defined Networking) solution and, like most SDN solutions, comprises:Control Plane via the Aviatrix Controller Management Plane via Aviatrix CoPilot Distributed Data Plane via Aviatrix GatewaysThe Aviatrix architecture involves these different planes interacting and communicating with one another through various protocols. Understanding these interactions and protocols is crucial for configuring and optimizing the Aviatrix environment effectively.In this blog, we will delve into the communication protocols and interactions among the Aviatrix planes.The diagram below illustrates the interactions between different planes. Below is the common list of protocols use in above communication.Controller to CSP API (HTTPS over port 443) Controller to and from Copilot. a. HTTPS over port 443 for API, UDP 5000 for Controller sy
