            are currently working with OVS in order to be capable of
            routing traffic through different interfaces connecting to
            the internet. In order to maintain private ip addressing we
            are using gre tunnel OVS implementation. However, we are
            incapable of binding GRE tunnels to specific network
            interfaces, where tunneled traffic should be forwarded and
            finally egress. Once traffic egress the gre Openflow port in
            the OVS, it seems it uses Linux routing table to forward the
            traffic to the corresponding network interface. Under this
            situation, we are incapable of using gre ports in OVS to
            load balance traffic matched in the OVS to different
            interfaces, as traffic will normally use the single default
            route in Linux routing table.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

    Questions like these come up often and I always try to remind and/or
    inform people that IP addresses in<br>
    Linux belong to the system, not interfaces.  Same goes for the
    routing table.  Using gre ports to do load<br>
    balancing is something I've never heard of.<br>
