Hi, We are trying to add the double Vlan tag for TCP Packets Query : 1. Does OVS Switch support double tagging? 2. Does OVS Switch support the IEEE standard 802.1ad ? What are the steps to configure double tagging ? Thanks, Mandeep "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to A

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 l
