In the device, the VNI and the list of remote VTEPs a packet should be flooded to is a property of the filtering identifier (FID). During encapsulation, the VNI is taken from the FID the packet was classified to. During decapsulation, the overlay packet is injected into a bridge and classified to a FID based on the VNI it came with. Allow NVE configuration for a FID. Currently, this is only supported with 802.1D FIDs which are used for VLAN-unaware bridges. However, NVE configuration is going to be supported with 802.1Q FIDs which is why the related fields are placed in the common FID struct. Since the device requires a 1:1 mapping between FID and VNI, the driver maintains a hashtable keyed by VNI and checks if the VNI is already associated with an existing FID.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
