Mapping of multicast MAC addresses to tunnels (physical
locators). This table is written by the NVC, so it contains the
MAC addresses that the NVC has learned. This table also specifies
how to handle unknown unicast and broadcast packets.
Multicast packet replication may be handled by a service node, in
which case the physical locators will be IP addresses of service
nodes. If the VTEP supports replication onto multiple tunnels,
using source node replication, then this may be used to replicate
directly onto VTEP-hypervisor or VTEP-VTEP tunnels.

Details:
MAC: string
A MAC address that has been learned by the NVC.
The keyword unknown-dst is used as a special ``Ethernet
address'' that indicates the locations to which packets in
a logical switch whose destination addresses do not
otherwise appear in Ucast_Macs_Remote (for unicast
addresses) or Mcast_Macs_Remote (for multicast addresses)
should be sent.
logical_switch: Logical_Switch
The Logical switch to which this mapping applies.
locator_set: Physical_Locator_Set
The physical locator set to be used to reach this MAC
address. In this table, the physical locator set will be
either a set of service nodes when service node
replication is used or the set of transport nodes (defined
as hypervisors or VTEPs) participating in the associated
logical switch, when source node replication is used. When
service node replication is used, the VTEP should send
packets to one member of the locator set that is known to
be healthy and reachable, which could be determined by
BFD. When source node replication is used, the VTEP should
send packets to all members of the locator set.
ipaddr: string
The IP address to which this MAC corresponds. Optional
field for the purpose of ARP supression.
