Hi, One recirc_id can be viewed as a frozen state in the "xlate" process and this frozen state stores tunnel info in it. So this recirc_id can also be viewed as a packet tag, with this tag it means the packet has all the tunnel metadata.
So I was wondering if the "xlate" process sees a packets with recirc id, it can clear all the masks of tunnel info, as the recric_id itself represents the tunnel info already. With this optimization, the recircled packets do not have to matched against tunnel info in the datapath, just recirc_id itself is enough, except the openflow rules clearly specify the tun_* fields. Am I correct? -- hepeng _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
