Re: [ovs-discuss] Netdev 'name' Uniqueness

Thanks, Ben. That you've even considered this approach makes me feel better about implementing it in my baseline for now. I'll ponder a longer-term solution, too... From an Openflow perspective, the pinch point seems to be that the netdev name is treated as equivalent to the Openflow port name.

[ovs-discuss] Netdev 'name' Uniqueness

2012-03-08 Thread Casey Barker
I'm experimenting with running multiple ofproto instances from within a single process, where Open vSwitch is linked as a library, and the datapaths operate outside the kernel. These ofproto instances are completely independent of each other, each representing a separate logical switching entity.
