I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "connect two instances". Do you mean treat them as a single bridge? You can connect almost anything that creates an interface at the OS level to an OVS bridge, so you could make a tunnel between two bridges, but treating them (internally) as one bridge is much more complex - and potentially not that necessary. What can you accomplish with one bridge that you can't accomplish with two? (Especially if they are openflow controlled?) -- Nick _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
