Hi,

Rather than simply having an ipsec tunnel with nat traversal, the goal is to 
have an ovs-ipsec tunnel.

Unless I’m misunderstanding, I was under the impression that ovs could create 
and maintain ipec tunnels from within ovs-ipsec and just relies on libreswan or 
strongwan daemons as implementation.

If I attempt your suggestion, can the tunnel created from within libreswan or 
strongwan directly still be controlled and maintained from ovs-ipsec?

Thank you.
