This is true, with a few exceptions. One that comes to mind is that some features (QoS, tunneling) are actually implemented in the "netdev" layer, but as long as you implemented those there you'd still get them. > Is there a way to quickly determine this from looking at the code? Yes, look at PORTING and lib/dpif-provider.h and lib/netdev-provider.h. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
