Hi, I downloaded the latest OVS code from the git repository and i notice that i dont see the GRE ports as separate ports in the data plane. There now appears only one GRE port gre_sys that represents all the GRE ports in the system.
root@:/home/akabra# ovs-dpctl show system@ovs-system: lookups: hit:331101 missed:1090 lost:0 flows: 1 masks: hit:584458 total:1 hit/pkt:1.76 port 0: ovs-system (internal) port 1: ion1 (internal) port 2: gre_sys (gre) Can somebody tell me why this change was done? Wasnt the earlier abstraction (at least till 2.3.2) better since each GRE tunnel was an OF port (or a dataplane port) and it was quite intuitive to write the of-flow rules since i could identify the GRE tunnel by a port. We seem to have lost that abstraction. Is there a benefit we get by doing this -- performance gain, etc? Thanks, Abhishek
