My understanding is that we have a global gre_sys device for all the gre vports. All the traffics will be sent and received by this gre_sys device, based on the different parameters carried in the packets, the packets will further be delivered to different gre vports.
And this also works for other type of tunnel interfaces such as vxlan_sys genev_sys etc ... Is my understanding right? Thanks. ________________________________ 发件人: pei Jikui <[email protected]> 发送时间: 2019年4月16日 10:48 收件人: Gregory Rose; [email protected] 主题: 回复: [ovs-discuss] gre_sys vxlan_sys . genev_sys etc interfaces Much thanks for the help. What're the scenarios that OVS uses these devices to send and receive the packets?

My question is , why does ovs create these interfaces and how it uses them in which kinds of scenarios? The Linux kernel has "fully backed" devices for net name spaces. These are those devices. - Greg Much thanks. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
