>From the documentation located at
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/configuration/ it's obvious
that, based on the example the answer to the question "Does Open vSwitch
support ERSPAN?", OVS can create an ERSPAN connection to another switch
and mirror packets over the connection.  However, what's not clear is
whether or not OVS can act as the receiver switch, ie. terminate the
ERSPAN GRE tunnel, decapsulate the packets, and mirror them to a local
OVS port.

Please advise. Thanks!
