I can see this is more organized on OVN-NB. But at the same time I still like to have unique logical port name in OVN-SB binding. Maybe we could combine both? With your OVN-NB schema change suggestion, make ovn-northd create the logical_port name in binding table as pswitch_name+vtep_logical_switch name to guarantee uniqueness? Anyway, do not think I know all related parts well enough~ would like to hear more comments from you and Ben, Thanks, Alex Wang, > -- > Russell Bryant > _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
