OVS will revalidate all flows in case of routing changes to push new routes to datapath flow table. I want to make it clear is the DPDK tunneling depends on tun push-pop actions which is not supported by kernel datapath. So kernel datapath will continue to use existing tunneling mechanism. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
