The config protocol is part of the upcoming OF 1.0 spec
(http://openflowswitch.org/wk/index.php/Config_Protocol). The idea is
to have a more robust method of managing less dynamic switch state (in
particular, configuration).
GRE however is not in OF (yet) so this will be an extension to the
config protocol schema.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the quick reply. One clarification though - by "a more
general config protocol", do you mean it's going to somehow subsume or
replace the OpenFlow protocol? I guess what I'm wondering is if the
current NOX applications will run unmodified and can be easily
extended to take advantage of new features of Open vSwitch with the
more general config protocol.

Hi Steve,
The plan is to support configuration of logical ports (e.g. GRE) through a
more general config protocol (json-rpc based). We are currently in the
process of porting this to the next release of Nox (which will surface in
the next couple of weeks). So, yes, support should be there.

Hi,
I was wondering if I could still use NOX to push rules related to GRE
tunneling to Open vSwitches. As far as I understand, there is no
OpenFlow spec related to GRE tunneling, so I was curious if NOX has
been extended to control and use features specific to Open vSwitch. If
this is true, is there any document on this? Thanks for any help.
