The ODL part is still not ready. We need to do code changes in odl to make it work see [1] [2]
[1] https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/62481/ [2] https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/60259/ We try to make the design as generic as possible so if you have a SR-IOV NIC that support switchdev And allow to offload rules using linux tc it should work. > -----Original Message----- > From: pranab boruah [mailto:pranabjyotibor...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, September 22, 2017 4:50 PM > To: openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org > Subject: [openstack-dev] [os-vif] [passthrough] [VifHostDevice] > > Thanks Sean for such a descriptive answer.
