I think the distinction is important because I'd like to minimize configuration knobs since it just makes things more complicated for the user. Actions more naturally fit with other existing actions. However, I really like to solve the original core problem rather than adding a partial solution. If this is an area that you're interested in then I would encourage you to join those discussions. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
