I think I understand better now than I did from your quick description over lunch last week. I think the idea is that every current use of an ofpbuf to hold an Ethernet or IP packet changes to use a dp_packet instead. Is that correct? The patch duplicates a lot of code from dp_packet to ofpbuf, but maybe that's OK. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
