Essentially, I'm trying to do GRE-over-Wireguard and need some kind of addressing within the Wireguard tunnel. These addresses should not collide with anything else in the tunnel endpoint's (unpredictable) network environment. So IPv6 link-local addresses are the perfect candidate here because the scope makes address collisions (across interfaces of the same machine) impossible. Anyway, this isn't supported right now according to Ben Pfaff's response. So I will either have to use ULA addresses (more complex because every tunnel endpoint needs to be configured with the same random ULA prefix) or create the GRE tunnels using `ip` and then add them to my OVS bridge as system interfaces (probably more CPU-overhead compared to OVS-managed GRE tunnels?). _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
