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. Signed-off-by: Ron Stone <ronald.stone@windriver.com> Change-Id: Id43a9337ffcd505ccbdf072d7b29afdb5d2c997e

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.
