This is a difficult question to answer because OVS can be used in many different ways. How you would use OVS in conjunction with OpenStack, for example, could be _very_ different than how you might use OVS with an SDN controller such as OpenDaylight. Is there a particular use case/solution for which you need more information? That might better enable the OVS community to help you. We _want_ to help; we just need a bit more information in order to do so. -- Scott _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
