Yes. > But I guess, that we still need the kernel changes to match on > those “big packets”. Maybe. If we only need to worry about ICMP, though, we can set up OVN so that it always slow-paths ICMP. > On 27 July 2018 at 23:35:58, Ben Pfaff (b...@ovn.org) wrote: > > On Thu, Jul 12, 2018 at 04:03:33PM +0200, Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo wrote: > > Is there any way to match packet_size > X on a flow? > > > > How could we implement this? > > OVS doesn't currently have a way to do that.
