I'm a bit out of touch with OVS, so my idea on how this should work might be wrong. As far as I understand OVS, the way forward would be to use the lwtunnel infrastructure to enable OVS to use a kernel GTP module. Our current OVS module ([1], [2]) is not (yet) using lwtunnel, but we do plan on switching to that. So far, we have been coordinating the GTP kernel module development on the OpenBSC ML [3]. The goal is to upstream it as soon as all the basics are covered (smallish netlink API changes, final touches on IPv6 and maybe lwtunnel). On the OVS side, someone would then need to implement the necessary ops to handle GTP lwtunnel integration.
