- For the <code>vxlan_over_ipv4</code> encapsulation, the only

- For some encapsulations yet to be defined, we expect <ref
- table="Physical_Locator"/> to identify both an endpoint and a tunnel key.
- When the first such encapsulation is defined, we expect to add a
- ``tunnel_key'' column to <ref table="Physical_Locator"/> to allow the
- tunnel key to be defined.

+ The <code>vxlan_over_ipv4</code> encapsulation, the only encapsulation
+ defined so far, can use either tunnel key model described in the ``Per
+ Logical-Switch Tunnel Key'' section in the <ref table="Logical_Switch"/>
+ table. When the tunnel key per <ref table="Logical_Switch"/> model is in
+ use, the <ref table="Logical_Switch" column="tunnel_key"/> column in the
+ <ref table="Logical_Switch"/> table is filled with a VNI and the <ref
+ column="tunnel_key"/> column in this table is empty; in the
+ key-per-tunnel model, the opposite is true. The former model is older,
+ and thus likely to be more widely supported. See the ``Per
+ Logical-Switch Tunnel Key'' section in the <ref table="Logical_Switch"/>
+ table for further discussion of the model.
