-Virtual eXtensible Local Area Networking documentation
-======================================================
-
-The VXLAN protocol is a tunnelling protocol designed to solve the
-problem of limited VLAN IDs (4096) in IEEE 802.1q.  With VXLAN the
-size of the identifier is expanded to 24 bits (16777216).
-
-VXLAN is described by IETF RFC 7348, and has been implemented by a
-number of vendors.  The protocol runs over UDP using a single
-destination port.  This document describes the Linux kernel tunnel
-device, there is also a separate implementation of VXLAN for
-Openvswitch.
-
-Unlike most tunnels, a VXLAN is a 1 to N network, not just point to
-point. A VXLAN device can learn the IP address of the other endpoint
-either dynamically in a manner similar to a learning bridge, or make
-use of statically-configured forwarding entries.
-
-The management of vxlan is done in a manner similar to its two closest
-neighbors GRE and VLAN. Configuring VXLAN requires the version of
-iproute2 that matches the kernel release where VXLAN was first merged
-upstream.
-
-1. Create vxlan device
- # ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 42 group 239.1.1.1 dev eth1 dstport 4789
-
-This creates a new device named vxlan0.  The device uses the multicast
-group 239.1.1.1 over eth1 to handle traffic for which there is no
-entry in the forwarding table.  The destination port number is set to
-the IANA-assigned value of 4789.  The Linux implementation of VXLAN
-pre-dates the IANA's selection of a standard destination port number
-and uses the Linux-selected value by default to maintain backwards
-compatibility.
-
-2. Delete vxlan device
-  # ip link delete vxlan0
-
-3. Show vxlan info
-  # ip -d link show vxlan0
-
-It is possible to create, destroy and display the vxlan
-forwarding table using the new bridge command.
-
-1. Create forwarding table entry
-  # bridge fdb add to 00:17:42:8a:b4:05 dst 192.19.0.2 dev vxlan0
-
-2. Delete forwarding table entry
-  # bridge fdb delete 00:17:42:8a:b4:05 dev vxlan0
-
-3. Show forwarding table
-  # bridge fdb show dev vxlan0
