Hi Ben, In my earlier email, I wanted to enquire whether the feature to receive socket open requests from an OVSDB server is available in the IDL class (per the configuration in the Hardware_Vtep Manager table). Currently, I do not have a bandwidth to contribute in the IDL library due to other high priority items on my plate. I will let you know when I have some free cycles.

It's an unimplemented feature of the Python version of the IDL. We'd accept a patch to implement the feature. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
