I guess I'd prefer to hold off on this until we actually have a use case for it. I can't think of a particularly good one off the top of my head and have never heard anyone ask for it. If we did put this in now and one came up in the future we'd have to worry about changing behavior if we need something different. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
