How can I bridge two "VM Network" on two different site ?

I got Two site with a cluster on each.

each site has his own IP addressing, but I would like to bridge the "VM Network" on the distant site to the local "VM Network" so I could start a VM replicat on the distant site and it will be visible on the local "VM Network" without IP address changes.

I have no dedicated switch between the two site, I use routers and telecom provided MPLS link with 30Mbits throughput.

I was thinking of an openvpn link with TAP drivers so I can bridge at ethernet layer, but there may exist better solutions.

thank for your directions.

Cheers from Tahiti.

You'd either have to stretch L2 or use an overlay technology like VXLAN to achieve this. There's nothing built in to vSphere that'll allow this.
