Dimitar,

Open vSwitch does not currently support 802.1ad. I have submitted a patch for 802.1ad and I am in the process of submitting a new version. However, 802.1ad will not solve the namespace problem. Perhaps you are thinking of 802.1ah?

Hello,

We are using openvswitch for some time and we are trying to implement
"private vlans" for our customers. Each customer should have vlan(s)
between his/her virtual instances. The problem with 802.1q vlans is that
we are expecting more than 4094 clients per openvswitch instance and the
vlan limit is 4096. We are considering QinQ(802.1ad).

My question is if ovs supports QinQ and how this can be achieved ?
Please propose other approach if this is not a good solution to the problem.

Dimitar Ianakiev
