This would be my favourite as well long term assuming that the performance benefits we hope for can be proven. A logical evolutionary process might be 2, 3 and then go for the full coverage. A small but: We can't just remove the existing Netlink based action data path as non-OVS users exist which rely on it. So this would need to exist in parallel unless we can get all users on board to transition over to this new architecture. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
