There are no attributes that can currently be set on datapaths. In the past there were and there may be in the future. The multicasting that's done is not a way to request information but to inform listeners that something is changed, which is obviously more useful in other contexts. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
