Hi All,

Using openvswitch, there is a way to create RSPAN port by mirroring all the
traffic coming on to a VLAN towards another port. As per my understanding,
this can be done as follows for a VLAN 10's traffic to be mirrored on tap0.

*ovs-vsctl add-br br0*
*       ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0*
*       ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tap0 *
*       ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tap1 tag=10*
*       -- --id=@p get port tap0 \*
*       ovs-vsctl \*
*       -- --id=@m create mirror name=m0 select-all=true select-vlan=10 \*
*                                    output-port=@p \*
*   -- set bridge br0 mirrors=@m*

Is it possible to do the same for vxlan traffic? Not sure if the selection
of vxlan from the ovs-vsctl command is provided.

Thanks & Regards,
Jagadish
