So this may be a very dumb question, but is there any way to connect two 
separate physical servers with layer 2 openvswitches on each separate server 
over a physical layer 3 network without using an encapsulation scheme (e.g. 
GRE, VXLAN, etc) ?  There are many workloads that are somewhat hobbled by 
having to use MTU other than 1500 or 9000, such as database workloads, and so 
I'm asking this probably dumb question, because just me, I cannot see how it is 
possible to avoid encapsulation when pushing data between servers over a layer 
2 network running on a physical layer 3 network, but I thought I would ask 
anyway.  Thanks,
Gilbert
