Hey Developers, I've turned my attention to the wondrous world of VXLANs! And with that, I stare into the Vast VXLAN API Abyss...
My first question, as usual, involves the SW IF that is created by the vxlan tunnel create API call. The IF has a name that is once-again unknowable by the User who creates the tunnel unless direct inspection takes place. Can we somehow invert the naming responsibility here so that the API states either the name or the unique integer used to form the the SW IF tunnel name? Or perhaps it can be formed using the VNI number? Inspecting the reply return value isn't good enough; we need to be able to know, in advance, what the tunnel SW IF name will be. This is, again, the same naming problem we've had in the past with Loopback IFs, bridges, and recently memif socket names. If directly using the VNI won't work, I can work up a patch to allow user numbering in the style of, say, bridges, if that would be helpful. Thanks, jdl
