Dear Developers,
I have a question for you. As you might be knowing. there is a patch now
available for OVS for GTP-U support. When the developers of the patch
submitted it to add to the main branch of OVS, the OVS developers told the
following.
It doesn't look like upstream Linux has a GTP implementation. Because
our usual workflow is to get code upstream first, you should start by
submitting the kernel patches against net-next when that tree is open (I
don't follow netdev, so I have no idea when that is). Then, once the
GTP code is upstream, we can get it into OVS here.
So, is the upstream Linux having support for GTP now? I am asking this
because I am not certain about what upstream Linux means. If you say that
upstream Linux has support for GTP-U, then I can ask the patch developers
to port it for the latest version of OVS and add it to the main branch.
Best Regards,
Ashish Kurian
Upstream means the kernel as published by Linus Torvalds on kernel.org
And yes, mainline/upstream Linux contains GTP-U kernel tunnel support for several months
now.
Regards,
Harald
