+ * VXLAN provides the features needed to allow L2 bridge domains (BDs)
+ * to span multiple servers. This is done by building an L2 overlay on
+ * top of an L3 network underlay using VXLAN tunnels.
+ *
+ * This makes it possible for servers to be co-located in the same data
+ * center or be separated geographically as long as they are reachable
+ * through the underlay L3 network.
+ *
+ * You can refer to this kind of L2 overlay bridge domain as a VXLAN
+ * (Virtual eXtensible VLAN) segment.
