For all intents and purposes this is a new feature that will only be available in the next release (what is currently master). Although there is dormant code in the 2.5 release, there were quite a few issues that make it unusable. Since the feature was never available as part of 2.5, these won't be backported to the release branch. Kernel support is limited to upstream kernels 4.4 and above - IPv6 tunnels are not currently available using the kernel module released as part of the OVS distribution. This will also be addressed before the next release. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
