+ When a physical switch integrates support for this VTEP schema, which
+ is expected to be the most common case, this column should point to one
+ <ref table="Physical_Switch"/> record that represents the switch
+ itself. In another possible implementation, a server or a VM presents
+ a VTEP schema front-end interface to one or more physical switches,
+ presumably communicating with those physical switches over a
+ proprietary protocol. In that case, this column would point to one
+ <ref table="Physical_Switch"/> for each physical switch, and the set
+ might change over time as the front-end server comes to represent a
+ differing set of switches.
