I've proposed adding a new output action that doesn't have this check. I don't think it's a good idea to change the semantics of OFPAT_OUTPUT because that is bound to cause confusion. I'd take a patch to add such an action (using the NXAST_* space or some other vendor space). _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
