shared by all bridges of that type. The "ovs-appctl dpif/*"
commands provide similar functionality that is scoped by the bridge.

Q: I created a GRE port using ovs-vsctl so why can't I send traffic or
see the port in the datapath?

A: On Linux kernels before 3.11, the OVS GRE module and Linux GRE module
cannot be loaded at the same time. It is likely that on your system the
Linux GRE module is already loaded and blocking OVS (to confirm, check
dmesg for errors regarding GRE registration). To fix this, unload all
GRE modules that appear in lsmod as well as the OVS kernel module. You
can then reload the OVS module following the directions in INSTALL,
which will ensure that dependencies are satisfied.
