Sure, it's ok to defer this, that will buy me some time to fix details and complete TODO. "Macros" tells the name column and "$MACROS_NAME" in lflows, "Set" tells each row in table is a set of something, like addresses and port names. Well, "Set" seems closer to the table, I will choose it in future version. Thanks and have a nice day! :) Zongkai, LI _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
