Title:
  [RFE] sriov vxlan network support

Status in neutron:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  1 problem

  now the vxlan can only support ovs vxlan network but donot support sr-
  iov vxlan network

  if support the sr-iov vxlan network, it's need to support create a
  network with parameter [--provider: physical netwrok], the create
  network should be  as following:

  neutron net-create ext_net -provider:network_type vxlan
  --provider:physical_network physnet1 --provider:segmentation_id 1000

  the current neutron DB don't has physical network for vxlan network.

  if support the ovs vxlan network, there is no need parm [--provider:
  physical netwrok]

  so the parm [--provider: physical netwrok] is a optional parm
  forcreating vxlan network

  
  2 how to find this problem
  We do a project which need to deploy a sr-iov vxlan network and find that cannot assign the physcial network for vxlan network.
  It seems that the neutron don't support sr-iov vxlan network and only support OVS vxlan network

  3 how to support sr-iov vxlan network
  (1) first it need to create vxlan network associating with physical network 

  (2) second it need get the mapping relationship between VNI and vlan

  4 how this problem is going?
  Now we have modified the neuron code and support this question, we hope share our code and commit to neutron project.

  5 significance
  As everyone knows that the sr-iov performance is better than the ovs.if the SR-IOV support vxlan network, it has a widely potentiall for vxlan network application,
