Has anyone implemented Splunk over OTV? Is there any flaws or merits to this approach?

The forwarders will be on a mix of OTV and non-OTV networks.

If the network is functioning correctly, it should be abstracted from Splunk, and Splunk will use TCP/UDP/HTTP etc to perform network operations as needed. Any merits/flaws would be purely from the design goals of the network.
