vtep - hardware_vtep database schema
This schema specifies relations that a VTEP can use to integrate
physical ports into logical switches maintained by a network
virtualization controller such as NSX.
Glossary:
VTEP VXLAN Tunnel End Point, an entity which originates
and/or terminates VXLAN tunnels.

Common Column
Some tables contain a column, named other_config
. This column has
the same form and purpose each place that it appears, so we
describe it here to save space later.
other_config
: map of string-string pairs
Key-value pairs for configuring rarely used or
proprietary features.
Some tables do not have other_config
column because
no key-value pairs have yet been defined for them.
