Hi Lucas.
I'm mainly asking the usage of 'local' port defined by Spec itself. So the discussion of in-band and out-of-band is also not limited to OVS. I see OVS and other projects both have the configuration for in-band and out-of-band.
My talk only remains in theory now. In real setup I may still choose in-band config because it's easier.
In my understanding, the difference between in-band and out-of-band control is out-of-band is exclusive for control usage.
But in-band control port can be also used for other data traffic. There might be multiple hops between in-band port and controller. And Openflow pipeline + flow entries must be implemented for in-band port.
Am I right?
Thanks.

Title : Re: [ovs-discuss] What's the exac t usage of 'LOCAL' port
Hi!
> So next question is, if I'd like to use out-of-band control in my network, does it mean that 'LOCAL' port is useless at all?
I'm curious about this point. When you say that you'd like to use
out-of-band control in your network, you mean using OOB control of OVS
? If the answer is positive, how would you like to do so ?
