I looked through things and the only feature that is in OVS 2.0 but not in Linux 3.13 is LISP. 3.13 is newer than 2.0 so it actually even has a couple of optimizations not present in the OVS 2.0 out of tree module. I haven't personally heard of anyone using the OVS implementation of LISP so this doesn't seem like a big issue to me. However, it is included in the OVS userspace documentation so if someone were to turn it on then it would appear to be broken, which isn't ideal. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
