I've only looked through the patches at a very high level but I would recommend talking with Thomas and Pravin about their plans for using tunnel netdevices directly instead of vports. I think it may answer a few of your questions (hopefully in a way that makes things easier) and will also likely make Dave happier in regards to a few of your patches, such as the one that avoids updating stats when there is no netdevice. That being said, thanks a lot for working on this. There have been a number of people over the years that said they would take a look at IPv6 tunnel support but this is the first time that anyone has actually done anything. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
