Commit Message

Vladislav Odintsov May 2, 2024, 9:51 a.m. UTC
Commit [1] introduced a "vxlan mode" concept.  It brought a limitation
for available tunnel IDs because of lack of space in VXLAN VNI.
In vxlan mode OVN is limited by 4095 datapaths (LRs or non-transit LSs)
and 2047 logical switch ports per datapath.

Prior to this patch vxlan mode was enabled automatically if at least one
chassis had encap of vxlan type.  In scenarios where one want to use VXLAN
only for HW VTEP (RAMP) switch, such limitation makes no sence.

This patch adds support for explicit disabling of vxlan mode via
Northbound database.

This patch is the meat of the feature, and I think it could be as well
implemented without patch 1/2 in the series. I agree with this particular
patch, (assuming we adjust documentation to talk about `VXLAN mode`,
capitalized). But I also have some reservations about patch 1/2 in the
series (or at least its stated goal - to simplify the code). I commented
there, and I would like others to vote on patch 1/2.

For this patch (2/2), with capitalized VXLAN mode in docs:
