Would you guys mind walking through > what each of you envision it looking like? I'll try my TL;DR version: My opinion is the classifier action code needs refactoring. I have no doubt that it goes in as is it will eventually look like the one we already have. From the evolution of that code i can already see that is where it is going. I really dont see need to have two competing interfaces in that aspect. If you decide to go that way I will be happy to help review and make suggestions. My !TL;DR version will include details on other things like: - bridging, the scalability of kernel->user packet redirect etc. But youve seen some of those views. cheers, jamal _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
