+ 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.
+
+ For more information please refer to:
