I have a very basic configuration. VM1--VTEP1====VTEP2--VM2  VXLAN between VTEP1 and VTEP2. Is there any way I can pass the VXLAN header to the virtual machines using the flow tables or any other means without modifying the code?      I need the VXLAN header to pass from VTEP2 to VM2.  Very basic config:  On VTEP1:root at os72-80:~# ovs-vsctl show
4cbf52aa-3bdb-4575-ba53-c9ddadb02ca1
    Bridge ovsbr
        Port "p49p2"
            Interface "p49p2"
        Port "vtep1"
            Interface "vtep1"
                type: vxlan
                options: {key=flow, remote_ip="192.168.2.96"}
        Port "vnet0"
            Interface "vnet0"
        Port "vlan200"
            Interface "vlan200"
                type: internal        Port "vlan2"
            Interface "vlan2"
                type: internal
root at os72-80:~# ifconfig vlan2
vlan2     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 62:22:d2:fb:69:c7
          inet addr:192.168.2.80  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
      
 On VTEP2:root at os-72-96:~# ovs-vsctl show

    Bridge ovsbr
        Port "vtep1"
            Interface "vtep1"
                type: vxlan
                options: {key=flow,remote_ip="192.168.2.80"}
          Port "p49p2"

            Interface "vlan2"
                type: internal


root at os-72-96:~# ifconfig vlan2
vlan2     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr e2:44:7d:4f:31:3c
