There's been some discussion about adding some sort of double-tagging to OVS, but we haven't finalized an approach yet. Double-tagging seems like such a simple proposal, but it's not been well standardized.
I haven't used ebtables much, but I don't think it will work with OVS. OVS "steals" the bridge's kernel hooks to receive packets, so the two cannot be run simultaneously. I believe ebtables depends on the bridge, and we haven't implemented a compatibility layer to their bridge-netfilter architecture. Our hope is that OVS will provide enough features so that ebtables won't be needed. (There has been some discussion about upstreaming OVS, which would allow a more elegant method of receiving packets and possibly allow both to run simultaneously.) --Justin On Jan 20, 2010, at 11:28 AM, DarkBls wrote: > Sorry was talking about "802.1QinQ" and not "802.1ad" > > > ----- Message transféré ---- > De : DarkBls <dark...@yahoo.com> > À : discuss@openvswitch.org > Envoyé le : Mer 20 Janvier 2010, 17 h 44 min 09 s > Objet : IEEE 802.1ad > > Hi, > > is 802.1.ad (a.k.a double VLAN tag) supported by openVSwitch ? > > If not, if there a way with EBTable to remove the outter tag before beeing > processed my OpenVSwitch ? > > Thank you. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > discuss@openvswitch.org > http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org
