Is it possible to send vxlan encapsulated packets to a bridge port and keep
the vxlan headers?

For example say you had a setup like below where you have two bridges, each
one has a vxlan port (vx1 and vx2) and another port that is really
connected to a vm (vsff1-sf11 and vsff2-vsf21).

Then could I add a flow or some other trick to take vxlan packets coming in
vx1 and send them to the vsff1-sf11 port so that the vm would receive the
packet including the vxlan headers?

My testing so far shows the vxlan headers are stripped and I can't seem to
find a way to keep them.

Thanks, Sam
