[ovs-dev] Configuring GRE over IPSEC Tunnel in OVS

[Farrukh Aftab Khan]

Thank you for the reply Justin.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10. I did install the package 'openvswitch-ipsec'
before but when it asked for openvswitch_mod,ko as kernel module, I assumed
it to be out dated. I have searched around a little more for a package
based upon recent/current release but to no avail.

I am using OVS-1.7.1, which is not one of the the LTS series of
openvswitch. Is there a package for it?
If not, what would I need to do to run ipsec in OVS-1.7.1? I am extremely
interested in attempting to run these tunneling protocols (and maybe
develop one someday as well).

Regards.
