Hi Jesse,
Thanks for the suggestion.
If I bridge the physical interface of VTEP2 (eth0) to vnet0 (tap interface of
VM2) (firstly, how do I do that?)VM1--VTEP1===(eth0) VTEP2 (vnet0)--VM2
Secondly, I do want the return traffic from VM2 to use the tunnel port when it
is sending traffic back to a VM on VTEP1.
I guess I just want confirmation that short of modifying code, I cannot program
the flow tables to achieve what I want to do.
Programming a flow in the flow table to match the VNI on the physical interface
and output the packet to VM2 always strips off the VXLAN header. Is there
anyway I can bypass this behaviour ?
thanks,Farhad.

You can just bridge the physical Ethernet device into the VM without
using a VXLAN port to terminate the tunnel.
