I'm still not enthusiastic about having a combined push NSH/Ethernet action. I don't think that it even really supports the full NSH use case since at least some of the patches sent are not using VXLAN-GPE but directly insert the header over Ethernet. I wouldn't want to introduce an action that would immediately need to be replaced since we won't be able to change any of the public interface semantics once this goes in. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
