The talk was strictly internal to BigSwitch and was presented yesterday, so it was fairly low profile. Honestly, if I had intended to write a more definitive or public document describing the changes, I probably would have structured these slides differently. But, given that the slides were already made and there is not much documentation on this, I figured it would be good to release. > Also thanks for mentioning Ericsson's OF 1.1 work.

Apologies for listing it as "hacked" -- in the talk I clarified that I was quoting (tongue-in-cheek) from an email from you, but I realize that's less clear in the slides. I certainly didn't mean to imply that the code wasn't worth looking at or to undermine the great work that you and your team has accomplished. > Be warned though, that due to the lack of a existing 1.1 test environments, > both the 1.1 software switch and NOX might contain bugs.

Great to know, although I would caution people that NOX and the software switch might contain bugs totally independent of your work :-) Thanks, - Rob . _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
