This question is OVS specific so it's probably best for an OVS list. I've added ovs-discuss. The newest versions of Open vSwitch include an "ifindex" column in the Interface table. That's probably the mapping you need. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
