I haven't had too much time to make progress on this so I don't have much in the way of additional thoughts at this point. The main one is that my goal is to not implement support for specific TLVs in OVS but to expose the full flexibility outwards so that anyone can introduce new metadata without having to modify OVS (the only possible exception being things that have to happen autonomously or on a per-packet basis in OVS). One issue that comes up when doing this is that the TLVs in both Geneve and OXM are exactly the same size so mapping them directly would consume the entire OXM space just for Geneve. There was a suggestion to use experimenter OXMs since they are larger but I haven't had a chance to look into this yet. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
