This patch provides extensions to VXLAN for supporting Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) networks. The patch includes: + a dove flag per VXLAN device to enable DOVE extensions + ARP reduction, whereby a bridge-connected VXLAN tunnel endpoint answers ARP requests from the local bridge on behalf of remote DOVE clients + route short-circuiting (aka L3 switching). Known destination IP addresses use the corresponding destination MAC address for switching rather than going to a (possibly remote) router first. + netlink notification messages for forwarding table and L3 switching misses Changes since v2 - combined bools into "u32 flags" - replaced loop with !is_zero_ether_addr() Signed-off-by: David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
