Just to follow up here ... we discussed this issue in the OVN meeting today. Han Zhou and I are going to work on it parallel. I'm going to implement the proposal I described here, which keeps the current model but makes it work. Han is going explore alternative ways to model this functionality in OVN and propose that separately, without the time pressure of getting this bug fixed. -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
