VTEP flags meaning (MTEP, ToR)?

[OptimalDesign]

Hi, All

This is illustrated in the example in Figure 29, where it can also be noticed how the specific VTEP responsible for performing local replication to the other VTEPs part of the same subnet is now named “MTEP”. The reason is that in Hybrid Mode the [
