NAME

       libvdeplug_vxlan - vxlan vdeplug module

SYNOPSIS

       libvdeplug_vxlan.so

DESCRIPTION

       This  is the libvdeplug module to join vxlan networks.  Only one process per host can join
       each vxlan network.

       This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like  vde_plug,  kvm,
       qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.

       The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
              vxlan://[multicast_addr][/OPTION][/OPTION]

       If  multicast_addr  is  omitted libvdeplug_vxlan uses the default addresses: 239.0.0.1 for
       IPv4 and ff05:56de::1 for IPv6.

OPTIONS

       v4     use IPv4

       v6     use IPv6

       port= PORT
              define the multicast port (default value 4789)

       vni= VNI
              define the virtual network identifier (default value 1)

       ttl= TTL
              define the time-to-live (default value 1).  hashsize=HASHSIZE set the size  of  the
              hash table for packet switching

       expiretime=EXPIRETIME
              set the maximum age in seconds of valid packet switching entries

       if=INTERFACE
              set the (real) network interface to use.

EXAMPLES

       vxlan://239.0.0.1
       This  vde_plug_url refers to the vxlan network defined on the multicast address 239.0.0.1,
       vni=1.

       Programs using
       vxlan://ff15::3/port=12345/vni=42
       join the same vxlan network defined by the multicast address ff15::1, port 12345,  vni  is
       42.
