This works for my requirement of passing LLDP frames with NCB. Good to go from
my side.
Thanks,
Paddu

Sure, this looks better. Wasn't aware of the define for FLOW_DL_TYPE_NONE. I
was searching for the define for minimum ethertype. Now i do see ETH_TYPE_MIN.
Let me apply this patch, test and will update this thread.
Thanks,
Paddu

><http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev> We can be more specific: any

FLOW_DL_TYPE_NONE as its dl_type. Also, there are other bits of code that
should change too. Here is a revised version. Will you please verify that it
also solves
the problem for you? Thanks, Ben. --8<--------------------------cut

Subject: [PATCH] ofproto-dpif-xlate: Identify STP BPDUs more specifically.
Apart from STP, EVB extension of LLDP as well as IEEE 802.1QBG use the
Nearest Customer Bridge (NCB) DMAC which has a value of 0180.c200.0000.
STP can be distinguished by Ethertype from these protocols. Signed-off-by:
