We mostly talk about the OVS all-software switch on ovs-discuss, since that's what most users are using. But if you're actually passing flows along to a network processor, then you might want to hook in at a higher level, by implementing an ofproto provider instead of a dpif provider. Please read the PORTING file at the top level of the source tree to understand the tradeoffs. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
