Lots of packet munging already happening with actions. We can pedit/nat/iptables/checksum/etc/. Works very well. > Do we want tc and likely the skbedit action to explode into a > packet mangling tool? skbedit is the wrong action to use.

There is _nothing_ that openflow needs that cant be done in classifier-action piece.

The packet redirect to user space is achieveable in many other ways, thats why it was not added. cheers, jamal _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
