Assuming $VXLAN is actually not a linux netdev of type vxlan?

I assume Amir refers to vxlan netdev in VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA mode,
using the tun_info metadata found in skb_metadata_dst.
The action is supposed to assign the tun metadata.
I see - so you let the vxlan netdev do the encap?
Would it still scale to a _very large_ number of tunnels?
How many netdevs are you going to use? I am assuming you will hit
a nasty lock somewhere(qdisc?) if you use only one.
