Just to add to the noise, what about "ovn-mpd" (Management Plane Daemon)? I'm worried about focusing too much on the northbound side, since it's really a translator between the northbound and southbound. Referring to it as the management plane seems to describe it's functionality a bit more accurately--but it's arguable that control plane and management plane definitions have somewhat lost their crisp definitions with SDN. --Justin _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
