Subject: [ovs-discuss] Push tunnel and Pop tunnel as action

Hi,

I am working on user space based tunneling (I am using OVS DPDK). But I don't 
want to use the 2 Bridge setup (as suggested in ovs manual), as it put 
restriction to use normal processing pipeline. And the openvswitch bridge needs 
to be given the IP address interface. I want to control openvswitch remotely 
via only open flow interface, so that openvswitch bridge act as pure open flow 
switch.

[Sugesh] Maybe I didn't understand your query correctly, what restriction it 
has with normal pipeline. Cant you create the output bridge with static rule at 
the time of init. Something like treat the output bridge as a port itself??

Best option would be if OVS support some kind of open-flow action which can 
control push and pop tunnel action explicitly in open-flow processing pipeline. 
Unfortunately, I can't see any such option available today in OVS. I am 
interested to know, if any such work is in progress?

I can see even Open-Flow spec doesn't have such option. Is it possible to 
update the spec with push and pop tunnel actions similar to push_vlan and 
pop_vlan followed by recirculation action on a logical tunnel interface.

I need your suggestion and views on this.
