Hi,
it's a bit irrelevant with pox mailing list but do you know how can I
create an overlay network with one node running OVS and some hosts that are
connected to the OVS through a subnet (let's say 192.168.3.1/24) without
running OVS on them. I mean, can I substitute the tunnel from the host to
the OVS with something else?
