I think that we can get something equivalent by defining finer-grained primitives, which is usually my own preference. I posted a series of patches to enable that: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-January/327820.html I believe that, with these patches, egress loopback explained above can be implemented with: clone { inport = outport; outport = ""; flags.loopback = 0; reg0 = 0; reg1 = 0; ... regN = 0; next(pipeline=ingress, table=0); } What do you think?
