libvdeplug_vxlan - vxlan vdeplug module

Description

       This  is  the  libvdeplug  module  to join vxlan networks.  Only one process per host can join each vxlan
       network.

       This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.

       The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
              vxlan://[multicast_addr][/OPTION][/OPTION]

       If multicast_addr is omitted  libvdeplug_vxlan  uses  the  default  addresses:  239.0.0.1  for  IPv4  and
       ff05:56de::1 for IPv6.

Examples

vxlan://239.0.0.1
       This vde_plug_url refers to the vxlan network defined on the multicast address 239.0.0.1, vni=1.

       Programs using
       vxlan://ff15::3/port=12345/vni=42
       join the same vxlan network defined by the multicast address ff15::1, port 12345, vni is 42.
