Hi Env: redhat 6.4, OpenvSwitch-2.1.2, using native datapath/linux/openvswitch.ko module VM1 on host1, VM2 on host2, host1 and host2 are connected by a switch. both VM enable virtio/vhost when launching VM case1: VM -> tap -> ovs-bridge -> eth1 case2: VM -> tap -> ovs-bridge -> vxlan -> eth1 W

[ovs-discuss] mf_value and mf_subvalue size restrictions

2014-11-04 Thread Madhu Challa
I was playing increasing the size of these structures to be able to read Geneve metadata. Currently they are limited to 16 bytes. I noticed that some of the test cases fail when I do this. I guess I can read the oxms directly without using these structures. But figured its less error prone if done

[ovs-discuss] Matching GTP-U with openvswitch

2014-11-04 Thread Dani Camps
Dear all, I am interested in extending Openvswitch to be able to match on GTP-U fields, typically used in mobile telecom networks. At a high level what I would like to do is: 1) Have an openflow controller install rules in OVS where the match portion of the rules includes fields of the GTP-U head

Yes, link_speed reports what the kernel reports. It is not a mechanism for setting the link speed. On Tue, Nov 04, 2014 at 04:28:36PM +, Savvas Zannettou wrote: > So you are saying that OpenvSwitch does not define the link_speed in the > source code but it just takes the information from the

So you are saying that OpenvSwitch does not define the link_speed in the source code but it just takes the information from the underlying linux kernel? On Tue Nov 04 2014 at 5:23:44 PM Ben Pfaff wrote: > The message from ethtool probably indicates that the kernel driver > doesn't support config

Re: [ovs-discuss] Change OVS Advertised Port Speed

The message from ethtool probably indicates that the kernel driver doesn't support configuring that feature, so there probably isn't any way to do it. (This will still be the answer no matter how you rephrase the question.) On Tue, Nov 04, 2014 at 11:58:03AM +, Savvas Zannettou wrote: > Hi, >
