[openstack-dev] [neutron] [linuxbridge] Multiple VXLAN multicast groups

The linux bridge agent does support using multiple VXLAN groups. You can
specify a prefix for 'vxlan_group' and the VNIs will be spread across the
multicast addresses in that prefix.[1]

The only difference between that and what your RFE proposes is specific
control over which multicast address is associated with each VNI. If that
is a specific requirement, then the RFE needs to be reworded because that
is the only difference between your proposal and what we have now for Linux
Bridge.
