OK, I was under the impression that you would detect L3 behaviour desire in OVS without an explicit action. Hence the worry on wrong classification for L3 ACLs. Whether we mark the packet and defer the MTU check or we check right in the action is an implementation detail in the end. I think we agree on concept level that we need an API to control behaviour. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
