Hi David,

Support for GRE tunneling is not part of the main-line kernel yet.  Ubuntu
support it by using the OVS kernel module that can be built from OVS
source.  Red Hat based platforms do not support this to my knowledge,
though you could always download the OVS source and build it yourself, as
Centos is a target platform for OVS.  Google will show you a few examples
of people explaining how they did it:
