Yes, I see that, thanks for the clarification. (I was "getting away with" the 
broken code in my test as I was diverting packets bound for another interface 
onto the vxlan via a netfilter target.)

This looks great so I'll drop my vxlan-gpe patch. I'd like to add the NSH 
capability on top of your patchset which I see is currently under review. Or 
did you have plans to roll out NSH soon also?

Thanks,
