From 6ab40dbfcb75ef4f4c167c88b32822a478f64d8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francesco Santoro Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2016 09:20:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 6wind-virtual-accelerator-plugin/doc: use vxlan networking as default This patch updates documentation in order to describe vxlan deployment as the default networking tunnel to be used with 6wind virtual accelerator plugin. Moreover this patch reworks the network configuration extra step description to be mandatory only for vlan scenarios.
