At the moment, no. Internally GRE is capable of having its MTU set but it is not exposed. > > 2.If there are more than one physical NICs on a host, does OVS GRE build > its stack for each Linux-IP?

When they are received, the source IP is used to lookup which tunnel should be the recipient. As a result, if host1 is sending using the public IP and host2 is sending using the private IP packets will not get through.
