-  * EPG (End Distribution Point). They are like port-groups or port-profiles, provide segmentation among workloads.  EPGs contain one or more virtual and physical servers that require similar policy and connectivity. The Cisco ACI fabric allows you to define the communication path among EPGs, just as you do by stitching virtual lines between VLANs using IP routing and access control lists (ACLs).

   * Contracts: The communication path between EPGs is managed using the concept of contracts. Contracts define the protocols and Layer 4 ports that can be used for the communication path between two EPGs.   * Contracts: The communication path between EPGs is managed using the concept of contracts.

 +  * Even the end ‘host’ runs routing (bgp?). This is because the host is normally a esx host.
