Thank you Daan

Is there Any documentation about this. I read about and saw several videos, but 
none explains clearly each type versus VNF or vRouter.
I though based on the videos I can just replace the vRouter with an appliance 
for isolated networks or a VPC.

In a shared network I need the vROUTER or appliance to have a link to public 
interface while the others are behind the vRouter or appliance. I was 
unsuccessful on this one as there is no way to assign a separate port for 
Public network.
everything is in a single VXLAN for some reason. and the VXLAN has to be 
routed, which I do not want


I DID TRY SHARED OR L2 NETWORK: All Hypervisrors running KVM and upgraded to 
4.20.1.

Here is the Scneario:

[vRouter or Appliance]                             |
      |                  |                                       |
      |                  |                                       |
  VXLAN1       VXLAN2                         VXLAN2
    |                         |                                  |
    |                         |                                  |
   VM1                  VM2                           VM3


Then for L2 should I be able to pick the VNF appliance instead of a vROUTER ?
