vxlan: virtual extensible lan
This is an implementation of Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network as described in draft RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-02 The driver integrates a Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) functionality that learns MAC to IP address mapping. This implementation has not been tested only against the Linux userspace implementation using TAP, not against other vendor's equipment.
