So I see a couple of possible strategies here. 1. Traditional STP, you could use the STP capabilities within OVS. I don't like this options, STP is always a headache 2. You could look at using some sort of SDN, I'd suggest looking at OVN, it will manage all of the tunnels and prevent loops etc for you. It's another layer ontop of your existing OVS setup and might be overkill at the scale of just 3 devices but it will do the job and you'll get to learn OVN!
