Ron Stone f125a8b892 Remove spurious escapes (r8,dsR8)
This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

VXLANs

You can use |VXLANs| to connect |VM| instances across non-contiguous Layer 2
segments (that is, Layer 2 segments connected by one or more Layer 3
routers).
A |VXLAN| is a Layer 2 overlay network scheme on a Layer 3 network
infrastructure. Packets originating from |VMs| and destined for other |VMs| are
encapsulated with IP, |UDP|, and |VXLAN| headers and sent as Layer 3 packets.
The IP addresses of the source and destination compute nodes are included in
the headers.
