When issuing vNIC with the same MAC on the same vSwitch

Hi all

In a public cloud computing environment, only host hypervisor (VMWare ESXi for example) can host VMs of different customers. These virtual machines can use the same MAC address for the vNIC. What happens if these virtual machines with the same MAC connected to the same vSwitch by chance? This will cause the MAC table on the vSwitch updated constantly which would lead in turn to the performance problem.

How vSwitch or what type of solution could solve this kind of issue and provide a network environment isolated to each cloud tanent?

Thank you!

It would be on the cloud provider (who generally do not use vSphere anyway) to mitigate.

If you are a supplier, you can use something like vCloud to isolate your environment shared with the support of as vShield products and technologies such as VXLAN.
