HI Justin, Is this the right direction for the configuration Protocol:
http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_1_2_proposal#Virtual_Port_Tunnel_configuration_protocol Will this be based on the JSON-RPC Protocopl for ovs-db or a extension of the OF protocol. I currently understand there are two different ways to configure the OVS behaviour: - By JSON-RPC ovs-db protocol - BY Openflow extensions Is there any advise or plans how to approach the dynamic tunnel creation?
