Hi, My colleague and I are having some difficulty finding the information we need in the docs. For example, the "terminology<http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/terminology/>" page has only 2 entries.
Could someone please explain the following things, so that I can add them to the docs? * What is the full list of possible types for a port? I know of dpdkvhostuserclient, dpdkvhostuser and internal. What are the other types? * Every bridge example I've seen has `datapath_type=netdev`. What other datapath_types are there? * How is the development process supposed to work? The site has a "fork on github" button, but this page<http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/internals/contributing/submitting-patches/> says to send patches via email, but it also says that Github submission are the right way. * Where are logs saved? The docs don't say. After looking around I've found that today it is /usr/local/var/log/openvswitch, but yesterday it was /var/log/openvswitch . Why does it choose one of those locations over the other? * The "Basic configuration FAQ" talks about "access ports". What is an "access port"? How does it differ from other kinds of ports? Other documentation improvement ideas: * There are two entries for `ovsdb` on this page<http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/ref/>. They should be merged or relabelled uniquely. * High level documents like Why OVS<https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/Documentation/intro/why-ovs.rst> talk about accounting and visibility, but the docs provide almost no instructions on how to actually get statistics out of OVS. There should be a FAQ or guide about how to find out stats. E.g. I'm trying to find out what the bottleneck in my system is, and nothing in the docs helps me find that out. * The "Basic configuration FAQ" should have a more basic example, * The logo up the top of the readthedocs page links to https://openvswitch.org/ instead of https://www.openvswitch.org/ . Consequently, the user is presented with a full page certificate error Thanks, Matthew Davis Technical Specialist Telstra | Product Strategy & Innovation - Telstra Labs | Programmable Infrastructure [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
