OVS doesn't have any configuration of the kind that the spec talks about, so there's nothing to do. The database only provide a status report, not a means for changing the role. Are you saying that OVS already implements this? If so, then I'll delete the item from OPENFLOW-1.1+ and from my to-do list. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
