That only really leaves us one order of magnitude of growth…! :) Chris

Yes, but too late for 18.04. We can do that change later after rc1 is out. I personally prefer that we simply keep speed as numeric value in 1kbps steps. That should be fine for up to 4Tbps.

And the current version of API for 'sw_interface_details' is not correct for that changes. Current variable in sw_interface_details API interface doesn't support all speeds because it was limited to 8 bits (this field has type u8). I'd like to change the type to u32. Can I do that? Or can we change the semantics of representation of speed? For example, speed in Mb or enum of speeds. Now we have: 1) link_speed (now is u8, but need at least u16): 1 = 10M, 2 = 100M, 4 = 1G, 8 = 2_5G, 16 = 5G, 32 = 10G, etc. We can do it like (need u32): a) 10 = 10M. 100 = 100M, 1000 = 1G, 2500 = 2_5G, 5000 = 5G, etc. or like this (need u8 field without changes): b) 1 = 10M. 2 = 100M, 3 = 1G, 4 = 2_5G, 5 = 5G, etc. Thank you, -dmitry
