I can see the desire to make these two settings consistent, although it really seems preferable to me to have DF on in most situations to avoid possible repeated fragmentation. I also don't know that there's much benefit to turning local_df off since the alternative is to simply drop the packet (it will also generate an ICMP message but in the case of tunnels, the sender will never get it). _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
