As a timely update from netdev conf, Andreas Schutlz and Harald Welte spoke about upstream Linux GTP at netdev conference, so it may be worth co-ordinating with them: http://www.netdevconf.org/1.1/talk-kernel-level-gtp-generic-tunneling-protocol-implementation-harald-welte-andreas-schultz.html _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
