These ovs patches can support both VxLAN-gpe+NSH and Eth+NSH, how to use them depends on users, so the previous way is ok, hybrid mode is also ok.
Yes, Openflowplugin must be changes to support these new actions and match fields, in gbp, sfc and ovsdb, openflow utils need to be changed, openflow pipelines need to add push or pop nsh actions, no other changes are needed.

With your patch, can we use VXLAN-GPE+NSH between the SFF and SF? I guess we wont be able to use your patch with the current ODL OpenFlowPlugin yet, right? Depending on how similar your patch will be to the final solution, we can consider modifying the OpenFlow plugin. Regards, Brady On 15/04/16 11:07, Brady Allen Johnson wrote: Yang, Thanks for this! We'll start looking into using this now. Do you know what's the latest status of getting NSH into OVS officially? What's the difference between this patch in your github and what will be available officially? What are the system requirements for using your patch, like Linux kernel, OVS, etc. It doesnt look like it, but is DPDK needed with this patch?
