> Running VXLANs over IPv6 link-local addresses allows to use them as a > drop-in replacement for VLANs, avoiding to allocate additional outer IP > addresses to run the VXLAN over. > > Since v1, I have added a lot more consistency checks to the address > configuration, making sure address families and scopes match. To simplify > the implementation, I also did some general refactoring of the > configuration handling in the new first patch of the series. > > The second patch is more cleanup; is slightly touches OVS code, so that > list is in CC this time, too. > > As in v1, the last two patches actually make VXLAN over IPv6 link-local > work, and allow multiple VXLANs with the same VNI and port, as long as > link-local addresses on different interfaces are used. As suggested, I now > store in the flags field if the VXLAN uses link-local addresses or not. > > v3 removes log messages as suggested by Roopa Prabhu (as it is very unusual > for errors in netlink requests to be printed to the kernel log.) The commit > message of patch 5 has been extended to add a note about IPv4. Series applied, thanks Matthias.
