Hi Eli, I think the vport type is for compatibility code. see Pravin's feedback here https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg458250.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg458374.html We should add new type type using dpif-netlink-rtnl. > thought about it before but it appears there is a gap between our out of > tree ip6gre support and the upstream.
