I vaguely remember doing it on just the interface not working, but it was so long ago that I've forgotten the details. A quick search on the web shows people configuring it in the same way. Based on some discussions we've been having on the Linux netdev mailing list, I wanted to clean up the way we configure policing anyway. I'll look into this while I'm doing that. --Justin _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
