Thanks for the information Lori. Hi Jean,
I am planning to implement and contribute the "Packet Type aware pipeline [EXT-112]" to OpenVSwitch. I got to know that you have already started working on EXT-112 support. I got your reference from Lori. Can I use your series of patches posted on github as a base to start working on EXT-112. Please provide me your feedback or anything that I should add to code from your point of view. If you have any objection then please let me know.
