Bug Description

http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/networking-guide mentions:
Warning

Using VXLAN project networks requires kernel 3.13 or newer.
(I found references under http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/networking-guide/scenario-l3ha-lb.html and http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/networking-guide/scenario-l3ha-ovs.html)

In an IRC conversation with <Sam-I-Am>, he mentioned:
hoonetorg: if you file a bug with openstack-manuals, i might update the text to say 'or something that backported it'.

Here is this bug report ;)

P.S. RHEL 7.2 at least is one example where kernel is 3.10, but vxlan fixe are backported.

Who is checking that backported kernels are working VXLAN?

CentOS 7 uses an earlier kernel than 3.13, but VXLAN seems to work. We should move the responsibility of validating VXLAN support to the operator.
