Allow users to set the IPv4 DF bit in outgoing packets, or to inherit its
value from the IPv4 inner header. If the encapsulated protocol is IPv6 and
DF is configured to be inherited, always set it.
When VXLAN destination port is unset and GPE is set
then assign 4790 to destination port. Kernel does the same as
well as iproute.
IANA VXLAN-GPE port is 4790
It makes more sense to call VXLAN ID as
1. the VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) (or VXLAN Segment ID)
2. test-network: rename VXLAN Id to VNI
3. fuzzer: Add VXLAN VNI directive to fuzzer
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Remote= must be a non multicast address. ip-link(8) says:
> remote IPADDR - specifies the unicast destination IP address to
> use in outgoing packets when the destination link layer address
> is not known in the VXLAN device forwarding database.
Closes#8088.
This work adds support for setting the IPv6 flow label for vxlan.

This patch add supports to configure IFLA_VXLAN_LOCAL
and IFLA_VXLAN_GROUP.
The "Group" is renamed to "Remote" which is a multicast address.`
