[ovs-discuss] Creating a LISP xTR with OVS

[David Lo Bascio]

I should create a LISP-type Ingress/Egress Tunnel Router using Open vSwitch... that's the configuration:

- A PC with Open vSwitch installed has 2 physical interfaces (eth0, eth1) and it musts behave as a LISP xTR; i'll call it OVS.
- Host1 is in EID space, so it has an EID IP address on its eth0 interface and it is connected to OVS'br0, which has an EID IP address belonging to the same subnet of Host1.
- OVS'br1 is in RLOC space, so it has an RLOC IP address, in the same subnet of Host2.
- Host2 is in RLOC space, so it has an RLOC IP address on its eth0 interface and it's connected to OVS'br1.
In OVS, eth0 is attached to br0 and eth1 to br1; i have created on br1 the lisp OF port and tunnel to Host2'eth0.

How defining flows on br0 and br1 to exchange lisp packets between Host1 and Host2?
Or better, how connecting br0 and br1 in OVS, so that traffic coming from Host1 and passing through OVS'eth0/br0 can arrive to br1/lisp interface?

Thank you very much!
