Yeah, sorry about that.


Is there an easy howto guide for setting up GRE tunnels anywhere?  Seems like a 
nice cookbook entry.  I'd consider writing it, but I'm struggling to find the 
details myself!

I don't know of one off hand. The command for creating a tunnel is (or at least is was at one point :):

ovs-vsctl -- add-port br0 gre0 \
               -- set Interface gre0 type=gre options:remote_ip=1.2.3.4

Whoops, VXLAN in the feature list is my fault.  I thought it had been pushed,
but it hasn't due to the additional control work that needs to get done.  I'll
removed it.  GRE is supported, of course.  If you're referring to NVGRE, Open
vSwitch allows setting and doing lookups on the GRE key, so the framing
format is supported.  But again, the control path needs to be implemented.

According to http://openvswitch.org/features/, 1.2.2 contains VXLAN and
GRE support.  However, as far as I can tell, there's no relevant code in either
1.2.2 or 1.3.  I've found a set of patches (see
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2011-October/012207.html for the
first one), but they don't seem to have made it into trunk.
Am I missing something?  (If I am, many apologies).

-Mike.
