I'd expect it to consider one of those policies first and then use the other as a tie-breaker, e.g. consider importance first, then use lifetime for entries of equal importance. However, this might turn out to be difficult or not useful, and if so then using just one of the policies would make sense (probably importance in this case). > 3.

Similarly if eviction is done for importance > using mod-table command, then how it can be disabled? Also using mod-table to turn the eviction flag off. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
