Does anyone ever try to send extended structures that are the same at the beginning but have extra information at the end? It would be a somewhat weird form of compatibility code but it would depend on only checking the min length. Otherwise, I don't have particularly strong feelings. Would it actually simplify things all that much though? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
