Hi Jesse,

I am trying GENEVE tunneling via OVS bridge port using ovs-vsctl tool on my two 
servers which are connected back to back
and running latest net-next kernel.

eth1- 192.168.44.44
eth2- 192.168.44.45
br2  [Setup 1] - 192.168.55.44
br2  [Setup 2] -  192.168.55.45


               Setup  1                                                         
                                     Setup 2
##########################                                                      
    #########################
OVS br2 -------------- eth1 - ###  --------------------------------------- ### 
- eth2 ---------------OVS br2
##########################                                                      
   #########################

I have configured OVS using below commands  -

Setup 1
ovs-vsctl add-br br2
ovs-vsctl add-port br2 gnv0 -- set interface gnv0 type=geneve 
options:remote_ip=192.168.44.45 options:key=01 options:dst_port=4789

Setup 2
ovs-vsctl add-br br2
ovs-vsctl add-port br2 gnv0 -- set interface gnv0 type=geneve 
options:remote_ip=192.168.44.44 options:key=01 options:dst_port=4789

When I run traffic between both OVS bridge - I see that it uses geneve header 
of size 8 bytes.
I was wondering if I could use GENEVE with options using OVS ? which would have 
geneve header size more than 8 bytes ?

I couldn't find anything about what arguments I should be using with ovs-vsctl 
on both setups to use GENEVE with options ?
Could you please supply necessary configuration/commands which I can try to use 
GENEVE with options while running traffic ??

Thanks,
Manish
