I'm not sure of the value of this. Why not have clients connect as OF1.3 if they need this feature? The differences between OF1.2 and OF1.3 are not huge. One of my long-term goals for Open vSwitch is to try to reduce the number of departures from the standard, and this continues to go in the other direction. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
