Dear Ben ,


Thanks you for your response.


Is there any option to commit this patch to the earlier branches (i.e) OVS 2.5.x . Kindly let me know if there is a provision and procedure for the same.


Regards

The commit message says:

    openvswitch: Allow external IPsec tunnel management.

    OVS GRE IPsec tunnel support has multiple issues, Therefore
    it was deprecated in OVS 2.6.

    Following patch removes support for GRE IPsec and allows external
    IPsec tunnel management for any type of tunnel not just GRE.
    e.g. user can encrypt Geneve or VxLan traffic.

    It can be done by using openflow pipeline to set skb-mark
    and using IPsec keying daemons to implement IPsec tunnels.
    This packet can be matched for the skb-mark to encrypt
    selective tunnel traffic.
