Don't use vxlan for local subnet communication [DO NOT MERGE] #182

Closed danwinship closed 8 years ago

danwinship commented 9 years ago

For containers on other nodes on the same subnet, we can use the nodes as routers and thus forward the traffic unencapsulated.

Proof of concept: not yet supported in multitenant, because it requires more work there (we can't pass the source VNID along, so we'd have to know the VNID of every IP address on every host. Or at least every non-local IP address... Anyway, possible scaling issues...

Closing for now; this was just a proof-of-concept. We can push a new one when this actually happens.
