Digging in, I could never find a reason why ipv6 was treated differently in this manner, but I guess there could be cases where the header layout could cause problems (see the top of the while() block). I don't know that it's a practical concern (other values are probably less common), but it was the only thing I could come up with for why the match might behave this way. I haven't done enough mailing list archeology to have a good idea. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
