"From the server if the server as the VTEP, that is a message sent to the access devices after encapsulation of message, so that access devices do not need to learn the MAC address of the VM, it only needs to be based on the outer packaging message header is responsible for the basic three layers forward, therefore, the virtual machine size will not limited by network equipment specification table item"
how do you understand this sentence, I feel on VTEP also want to store the MAC address table, or else how do VTEP on the received message forwarded to the respective VM?

MAC address in order to main layer 2 forwarding, but VTEP itself is the layer 2 tunnel, so don't need to layer 2 forwarding, because of a layer 2 tunneling point-to-point,
So as long as 3 layer forward
