Here are two old links that provide perf numbers with OVS GRE/VxLAN tunnels:

With br MTU= 8900 bytes, the bare-metal OVS-vxlan numbers I see is 5.3

Hi,
Whan a link fails, how the switch connected to that link knows it. Will
it be notified by any other process. (or) will the switch polls using
netdev-get-carrier. In the second case then it won't be done immediately
right..it will be checked periodically know..If so then what's the time
period
