    Hello,

    Conntrack looks in very good progress on
    https://github.com/justinpettit/ovs.git



    However, I didn't find any code related to "nfqueue" openvswitch
    action, neither on
    https://github.com/tgraf/ovs.git.

    Is the nfqueue action still planned to be implemented for
    openvswitch 2.4? Do you need a hand on this topic?

Unfortunately, I am not aware of anyone working actively on this. There are some difficulties that we see with implementing NFQueue verdicts properly so that packet processing could be resumed. If you have design proposal on how to solve this, then I would be glad to hear your opinion.

Also, do you think that Open vSwitch kernel module's userspace() action might somehow suffice your use cases so that user-space process would be able to get packet from kernel-space?
Unfortunately, userspace() is not an option as DPI is not embedded in ovs-vswitchd. DPI is a standalone userland process.

However, I found another way which is pretty straightforward: I can use a dedicated vswitch port to get a copy of the traffic I want to analyze with the DPI. I just need one port per conntrack zone.

Best Regards,
Franck
