Hello Paul,

I'm not sure if I understand your question. Could you please provide a side by side comparison with how the package looks and how you would want it to look like?

Because what I understand now is that you want the GRE tunnel to send non-encapsulated messages to it's remote end point. And if you would be able to do that, the remote end point wouldn't know how to interpret the package and would just drop it.

Have a nice day,
Andrei

I'm wondering if there is a way to encapsulate just an IP packet in GRE using OVS instead of doing only doing transparent bridging of entire L2 frames. Are there ways to setup the flow actions to strip off the MAC header and change the protocol field of the GRE header to 0x800 before forwarding off to the tunnel interface?

Thanks,

Paul
