I think the MTU awareness is solveable but how do you steer between L2 and L3? How do you differentiate between an L3 ACL rule in L2 mode and an actual L3 based forward? dec_ttl? This is what drove me to the user controlled bit and it became appealing as it allows to enable/disable PMTU per guest or even per flow/route. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
