VxRouter is the merging of docker-vxlan-plugin and docker-drouter.

It is a vxlan plugin for docker networks allowing layer 2 connectivity between containers on a cluster of hosts. It is intended to be used with a dynamic routing protocol like BGP. When a container is started a /32 route to the continer's IP is added to the host which should be redistributed via BGP to other hosts in the cluster. These /32 routes provide efficient routing between the diferent vxlans across hosts, as well as the distributed database that is used for the IPAM driver.
