I agree that that is a good thing to do, which has been a real problem in some cases, but I don't yet understand why there would be mpls_lse mask bits set on non-MPLS flows. Can you explain why (when?) that happens? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
