Hello Remo, Erik,

 Thanks for this fast reply!   :-)

 Remo, I want to seg the communication between my Instances (i.e., intra-vm
communication), for example, I want to "scp from-instance-a to-instance-b"
through "net-a" and simultaneously, "scp from instance-b to-instance-a"
through "net-b", so, there will be no bottleneck. On this example, both
Instances have two subnets attached but, I would like to use two VXLAN
tunnels, one for "net-a" and another for "net-b"... And I'm not sure if
this is even possible to achieve... Is it?

 Evolving this scenario, I'll build something like this:

 * Instance-A -> net-a -> "Instance-Bridge" -> net-b -> "Instance-Gateway"
-> Internet

 Here, the "Instance-bridge" will be connected at both "net-a" and "net-b",
and will act as bridge. The gateway IP of "Instance-a" is allocated at
"Instance-Gateway".

 So, I'll need to, somehow, attach "net-a", to a VXLAN tunnel associated
with "segment 1", and "net-b", to a VXLAN tunnel associated with "segment
2".

 Erik, in fact, no, I don't need more bandwidth, I just need to make sure
that the network traffic going in and out from "Instance-bridge /
Instance-Gateway" will face no bottleneck. I'm thinking about the
possibility to build a LACP BOND channel, using 4 ethernets, for just one
VXLAN subnet. This way, I believe it will more dynamic and easy to
build/manage... What do you think? Ah, and yes, I'm intending to segment
the traffic in a specific way, as my above example.

 Thanks again!

Best,
Thiago
