This wording is a little unclear. Do you mean Geneve and STT are supported for
hypervisor-to-hypervisor traffic and VXLAN, Geneve, and STT are supported on
hypervisor-gateway traffic?
Yes. Do you have a suggestion for making it clearer? It reads okay to me, but
I wrote it. :-) More importantly, is it clear in the documentation that was
added?
The documentation could be interpreted to say that hypervisors never
speak VXLAN at all and thus hypervisors cannot communicate with
gateways, which I'm pretty sure was not intended. I'd say:
