RE: [Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?

[Rob Hoes <Rob.Hoes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The controller I am talking about is part of XS 5.6 FP1 (Advanced Edition or 
higher), which is released by Citrix very soon, and was also included in the 
beta. This controller uses OpenFlow for setting up ACL rules etc, and another, 
Open vSwitch specific, protocol to create GRE tunnel ports remotely.
