Hi Han, As is in the schema doc, external_ids is used by external frameworks rather than OVS, assume you probably mean other_config? Do you prefer this approach because it needn't change the schema? I added a new column because openflow name is a basic property of ports, and seems good to align with "ofport" and "ofport_request". Also it would be easier to show with "ovs-vsctl show". What's your opinion? Thanks, Xiao _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
