We've been able to get buy so far without a user-visible device for the switch. The switch ports are represented by netdevs, so that's easy. How can we create an object for the switch itself, so we can attach common interfaces for the user to dump switch-level stats or tables? Using another netdev doesn't seem right. Do we need a new device class for switches, and then create some common tool/interfaces for switch device class? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
