I've seen your request each time, and still don't understand what you need or why you need it. It doesn't make any sense. OVS doesn't have anything called a "flow_id", and so your description that the new request would generate a flow_id from a flow cannot be implemented. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
