To me this is not a big deal as you only run this protocol at the core. Downstream switches can be any vendor." Open vSwitch doesn't usually run at the core of a network but at the edge. Also, it might be difficult to correctly implement a proprietary vendor protocol. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
