Ben, no problem, NSH kernel patch will be merged very soon, after that I'll rework this patch series, netlink message format for OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH has big change per kernel requirement, so userspace part will have some big change for push_nsh and set. action names for data path also need to be changed. We also can start backporting NSH kernel patches to OVS to support compat mode, this requires to backport many kernel patches before NSH kernel patch, it will be great if OVS 2.9 can support both userspace and kernel data path. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
