Hi Victor,

I did mention it,  as having VXLAN can allow to integrate FreeBSD as an 
hypervisor/jails into an VXLAN overlay. Probably there will be some 
other things to sort out, control plane? (depending on deployment type).

I'm not aware of any live deployments running FreeBSD and VXLAN. We do 
have live deployments on Linux using VXLAN ecnap (Linux + tungsten 
fabric or similar). I will love to know about any live 
deployment/successful stories on FreeBSD + VXLAN + bhyve and Jails.

Unfortunately my BSD daily usage is more related to  Jails + VNET + FRR 
and netmap. These amazing tools allow us to quickly "simulate" 10s of 
CPE devices, generate routes,  OSPF/BGP/BFD speakers, and generate 
traffic while staying away from all the Linux craziness (and other tools 
are super expensive).

It will be nice to do a test and see how good FreeBSD integrates into an 
existing overlay.

I hope it make sense.

Santiago
