Thanks for you help. I have established a GRE tunnel across two
private networks.

By the way, it is possible to create multiple GRE which across three
or more private networks ?
The first thing comes to my mind is I would have to create multiple bridge.
And the ovs-ifup script is another problem because it has only one bridge.

Please give me some advise for creating multiple GRE tunnel
