It's going away but it's not quite there yet. The 3.11 upstream kernel supports GRE but not VXLAN (that's hopefully coming in 3.12) so I think it probably makes sense to go with the out of tree version for one more release and then switch over. > If not, some help diagnosing the issue I'm seeing would be great: > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/1213879 Here's an upstream commit that is definitely needed as part of 3.11 support and looks at least somewhat related, so it might be a good place to start: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/net/openvswitch?id=351638e7deeed2ec8ce451b53d33921b3da68f83 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
