On an OVS and openflow enabled switch, GRE-tunnel is supported. Let's assume
one packet comes in and hits a flow entry,

the action is forwarded to a GRE tunnel. After GRE tunnel encapsulation, a
new tunnel header is added. How should the encapsulated packet

be forwarded? By route or by manually specified tunnel outgoing port? if
it's by route, how is the route created (assume on the switch, there is no 

any route protocols)? Manually create the route?

In other words, on a openflow and ovs-l2 only switch, how to forward tunnel
packet?
