Resubmitting won't help since it doesn't change the action - the OpenFlow 1.0 action will just set it the second time. Internally OVS has the ability to push multiple tags but that's not exposed to the outside. You could do vlan in GRE or if you took multiple trips through OVS, GRE in GRE or GRE in vlan. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
