Thanks for working on system tests, it's good to see that they're useful for development. I see that there are three categories of tests here: * Basic sanity tests with double-tagging * Conntrack interaction tests with double-tagging * 802.1ad push/pop and tunnelling in OVS Would the first two categories be suitable for inclusion before the OVS 802.1ad support is added to OVS, since they're just using upstream linux 802.1ad support? I think that the existing VLAN tests are primarily checking that OVS works in conjunction with VLANs configured using netdevices. Likewise with the first two categories of tests here. Maybe we should consider also extending the tests to configure VLANs via OVS (to use OVS push/pop infrastructure) and ensure those codepaths work too. I think that's what the third category of tests are trying to do, but there didn't seem to be a basic 802.1q test (which I would also expect to work today). Which kernel versions should be sufficient to run these tests? I tried running on an Ubuntu 14.04 install with kernel 3.13.0-91 with master OVS (+this series) and even the basic sanity 802.1ad tests failed, with 100% packet loss. My 'ip' command seems to understand 802.1ad, although I can't recall if I am running a custom version of iproute. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
