+VXLAN layer3 routing with anycast gateway
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-VXLAN layer2 with vlan aware linux bridges
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+With this need, each vmbr bridge will be the gateway for the vm.
+Same vmbr on different node, will have same ip address and same mac address,
+to have working vm live migration and no network disruption.
-We use 1 vmbr bridge, each vxlan is mapped to a vlan
+VXLAN layer3 routing only work with FRR and non-aware bridge.
+(vlan aware bridge support is buggy currently).

-----
+The asymmetric model allows routing and bridging on the VXLAN tunnel ingress,
+but only bridging on the egress.
+This results in bi-directional VXLAN traffic traveling on different VNIs
+in each direction (always the destination VNI) across the routed infrastructure.

-* node1
+symmetric model
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+With this model, you don't need to have all vxlan on all nodes.
+This model will also be needed to route traffic to an external router.
+
+The symmetric model routes and bridges on both the ingress and the egress leafs.
+This results in bi-directional traffic being able to travel on the same VNI, hence the symmetric name.
+However, a new specialty transit VNI is used for all routed VXLAN traffic, called the L3VNI.
+All traffic that needs to be routed will be routed onto the L3VNI, tunneled across the layer 3 Infrastructure,
+routed off the L3VNI to the appropriate VLAN and ultimately bridged to the destination.
+A vrf is needed for the L3VNI, so all vmbr bridge need to be in the vrf if they want to be able to reach each others.
