The spec mentions at least 2 reasons to send this: when another controller asks for a role change and when the configuration of the switch has changed. For the first one I've done an implementation on the previous hackathon. However, I don't see how can we change the role of a controller locally. The database is updated with the OpenFlow connection state. Do we also need to add an option to do this in reverse ? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
