[RFE] sriov vxlan network support

[dutiegang]

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,

Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
     As for this issue, I don't know how it will going in the future.
      If possilbe, I hope I can commit the code to slove this question.

Thanks.
