No. It means that if you need ovs-brcompatd, you must use the third-party OVS kernel module instead of the one built into Linux 3.3 and later. > Also, under which circumstances would someone not need bridge compatibility > in an OVS world? brcompatd provides a way for applications that use the Linux bridge to gradually migrate to Open vSwitch. Programs that ordinarily control the Linux bridge module, such as "brctl", instead control the Open vSwitch kernel-based switch. If you do not already depend on these programs, then you do not need bridge compatibility. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
