Thanks Justin, Is there a document/sources for that daemon?

Is there any further information/specification/implementation of the protocol? Teemu is proposing that there may a application-specific protocol that speaks down to the hypervisor. There a daemon understands this other protocol and acts as a local controller that speaks directly to the vswitch using OpenFlow and OVSDB. While there are plenty of fair criticisms of OpenFlow, it actually turns out to be a pretty good way to model a software switch, since caching becomes (relatively) straight-forward. What does it mean for the roadmap of OVSDB in Open vSwitch? As I mentioned above, that paper/presentation doesn't assume changes in OVS, and, in fact, leverages OF and OVSDB. --Justin _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
