Hello,

I am using OpenVswitch version 1.1.1.
I have a bridge configuration consisted by multiple EoGRE tunnels.
Here is an example output of ovs-vsctl list Interface (ommiting what I consider as irrelevant info)

admin_state         : up
name                : "gre5"
ofport              : 5
options             : {key="4", remote_ip="10.0.0.5"}
other_config        : {}
status : {tunnel_egress_iface="eth0", tunnel_egress_iface_carrier=up}
type                : gre

admin_state         : up
name                : "gre2"
ofport              : 2
options             : {key="1", remote_ip="10.0.0.2"}
other_config        : {}
status : {tunnel_egress_iface="eth0", tunnel_egress_iface_carrier=up}
type                : gre

admin_state         : up
name                : "gre4"
ofport              : 4
options             : {key="4", remote_ip="10.0.0.4"}
other_config        : {}
status : {tunnel_egress_iface="eth0", tunnel_egress_iface_carrier=up}
type                : gre

admin_state         : up
name                : "gre1"
ofport              : 1
options             : {key="1", remote_ip="10.0.0.1"}
other_config        : {}
status : {tunnel_egress_iface="eth0", tunnel_egress_iface_carrier=up}
type                : gre

admin_state         : up
name                : "gre3"
ofport              : 3
options             : {key="1", remote_ip="10.0.0.3"}
other_config        : {}
status : {tunnel_egress_iface="eth0", tunnel_egress_iface_carrier=up}
type                : gre

While the connectivity works fine I was considering to add a flow based on the gre key. I actually want to group the ifaces with the same gre key so I was thinking something like #ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 tun_id=1,idle_timeout=0,priority=1,actions=set_tunnel:1,normal
(I want normal action in order to preserve L2 lookups)

The rule is created but there are no packets "caught". They always "fall into" to the default rule. Am i doing something wrong? I, also, noticed a message NXST_FLOW reply (xid=0x4) when I run dump-flows.
Is it related to the problem?

Lastly, can you propose me different ways to achieve this grouping using OpenVswitch?
I would, strongly, prefer a solution without Vlans!


Thank you very much,
Emmanouil
