It's because there's no sensible way to translate, for example, UDP to TCP, and reinterpreting the bytes as a new protocol wouldn't fit well into the OVS caching model. Given that it's unlikely to be useful for those reasons, we don't support it. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
