I don't see another good way to do it, yet. I think we'll have to special case it for now. Perhaps, if enough other special cases come up, we'll see enough of a pattern that we can clean it up. > One idea I have is to add OXM width fields (perhaps just bytes rather than > bytes and bits).

I'm OK with a special case for this. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
