[ovs-discuss] Unsupported Tunnel type

[maryam hanfi]

Yes it works for gre because gre is a supported tunnel type in OVS. But my
question is, if a tunnel type is not support for example gre0 or mytunnel
which are not valid types in OVS, then OVS should throw an error and should
not add it to the configuration. But it is adding unsupported types in the
configuration.
