Basically I got a host with multiple virtual machines, and to keep the flow table sizes reasonable I've split up the filtering and routing into two parts; filtering what an instance is allowed to send, etc, in the first stage, then in the second stage do filtering what an instance is allowed to receive and sending to the right port. So in order to avoid asking the controller for every single new connection made from the instance, the first stage needs to be able to add flows that can pass packets to the second stage table. If the requested feature is not available, I'll have to look into adding extra tables duplicating the second stage which instead saves the output port in the registry... Basically it'll get very messy. Jari Sundell _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
