Hi Ryan, Unfortunately not - however, some of this code will be incorporated into a new patch that leverages the netdev runtime configuration infrastructure that was recently upstreamed (http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-April/070064.html). Thanks, Mark > >Ryan _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
