<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ian,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are analyzing the VXLAN provider network feature for StarlingX upstreaming, in which case the patch
<b>021ae1a</b> firstly introduced VXLAN provider network and <b>509ea54, 1e368a3 </b>
added with the VXLAN dynamic/static mode.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Different from StarlingX, the upstream neutron VXLAN provider networks do not support to be associated with physical networks. They assume that VXLAN creates overlay networks where they do not require the VNI space to be accessible by a
particular interface on a node. Would you please kindly share some business use cases or user stories with us about the physical-network-constrained VXLAN provider network introduced?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me know if any question. Thanks a lot!<o:p></o:p></p>
