Hi Simon. Thanks for submitting this. I have a question about the status of the definition of this extension. Is it an extension that is already in use, so that the OVS implementation should strive to be compatible with the existing implementation? Or is it an extension for which this will be the first implementation? The answer colors my review, since in the first case I'm mostly interested in faithfully implementing the extension in an interoperable way, whereas in the second I'm also interested in trying to ensure that it is defined in a way that is likely to be useful and maintainable and extensible in the long run. Thanks, Ben. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
