You'd have to modify OVS to use libpcap. The port of Open vSwitch to netmap does that. You might be able to find code for that port if you start here: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
