Subject: ip: VXLAN: Add support for IFLA_VXLAN_MC_ROUTE
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6331444995237782f4bdfae7d3cbef7f319d323c;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

ip: VXLAN: Add support for IFLA_VXLAN_MC_ROUTE

The flag controls whether underlay packets should be MC-routed or (default)
sent to the indicated physical netdevice.
