Hi Babu and Numan. So far, we've been able to build OVN so that the logic of the system is implemented in terms of OVN logical flows. That is, the logical flow table determines what happens in every significant way in OVN. It would be nice to preserve this property for DHCP. A design of this form would have to include a way for the flow table to extract DHCP header and option information from packets, and for the flow table to create new DHCP packets and set their header and option values. It would be more work, but then the DHCP behavior could be controlled entirely from ovn-northd by modifying the flow table. I'd like to discuss whether this is practical and worth the effort. Do you have any initial thoughts? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
