This seems reasonable to me but Guru knows this better than me so I'd like his input. Guru?

GRE can encapsulate multiple kinds of traffic. Open vSwitch only supports Ethernet (L2) traffic inside a tunnel. Sufficiently new Linux supports Ethernet (L2) and IP (L3) traffic inside a GRE tunnel. L2 is a newer feature though so you need to configure it. I don't know off-hand how one does that but perhaps that's enough to find it. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
