Hi Ilya and everyone, I'm interested in obtaining further insight into the technical rationale behind the automatic removal of ingress qdiscs for OVS internal ports. I.e. it's no doubt that ovs internal ports are managed by ovs, however since internal ports are something different than external ports, I would expect they could/should be managed differently.
>From the "outside the ovs" standpoint how would the the ovs internal port network interface differ from a veth pair network interface whose peer is enslaved in the ovs (via external port)? I.e. why should qdisc configuration for the ovs internal port network interface have some additional limitations compared to that of the veth interface whose peer is enslaved in ovs?
