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.

===================
VXLAN Data Networks
===================
Virtual eXtensible Local Area Networks (|VXLANs|) data networks are an
alternative to |VLAN| data networks.
A |VXLAN| data network is implemented over a range of |VXLAN| Network
Identifiers (|VNIs|.) This is similar to the |VLAN| option, but allows
multiple data networks to be defined over the same physical network using
unique |VNIs| defined in segmentation ranges.
Packets sent between |VMs| over virtual project networks backed by a |VXLAN|
data network 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 outer IP header.

Before you can create project networks on a |VXLAN| provider network, you must
define at least one network segment range.
.. note::
Static VXLAN is limited to one data network, and if configured, it must
be enabled on all openstack-compute labeled nodes.
