You're talking about the outer header but I'm talking about the inner one. GRE packets can encapsulate either Ethernet frames or raw IP directly. > Is there any other method you can think of to link them up as an alternative > to the methods I have tried? Would a L2TP tunnel work? You should use the GRE support built into OVS. If that doesn't work then something else is the problem. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
