I'm not sure I understand the improvement yet. It looks to me like this only provides value if the user specifies a dp name that contains @. I'm not sure that's something that is commonly done; I only do it in extremis. It looks like the algorithm enumerates all the datapaths and opens them in turn and then checks whether the name is what the user asked for. Is this better than just trying to open what the user asked for and seeing if it worked? Thanks, Ben. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
