6wind-virtual-accelerator-plugin: update doc to better describe tunnel support
The current plugin version can fully support (and accelerate) only Fuel VLAN tunnels that use a dedicated interface. Future versions will add support for VxLAN/GRE and bridged VLANs. This patch updates documentation to describe this scenario Change-Id: I91ec050dd4adfb4e1ed180a9eac7a54b8c7d92a1 Signed-off-by: Francesco Santoro <francesco.santoro@6wind.com>
