Hello everyone

In https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/ovn/lib/actions.c?utf8=%E2%9C%93#L833

} else if (snat && ep->is_gateway_router) {
        /* For performance reasons, we try to prevent additional
         * recirculations.  ct_snat which is used in a gateway router
         * does not need a recirculation.  ct_snat(IP) does need a
         * recirculation.  ct_snat in a distributed router needs
         * recirculation regardless of whether an IP address is
         * specified.
         * XXX Should we consider a method to let the actions specify
         * whether an action needs recirculation if there are more use
         * cases?. */
        ct->recirc_table = NX_CT_RECIRC_NONE;
    }

but in https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/ovn/northd/ovn-northd.8.xml?utf8=%E2%9C%93#L1390

        <p>
          If the Gateway router has been configured to force SNAT any
          previously DNATted packets to <var>B</var>, a priority-110 flow
          matches <code>ip &amp;&amp; ip4.dst == <var>B</var></code> with
          an action <code>ct_snat; next;</code>.
        </p>


Action "ct_snat" already include "resubmit next table", why delete it and add a "next" action?

What is the difference between "ct_snat without recirc_table and next" and "ct_snat with recirc_table"?


Thanks in advance
