[ovs-dev] Packet type-aware pipeline, L3 tunneling, EXT-382 and NSH: Minutes call 2016-11-29

2016-11-30 Thread Jan Scheurich
A small team is driving the implementation of NSH based on a number of new features to be implemented in OVS: * Packet type-aware pipeline (PTAP, EXT-112) in OF 1.5 * Generic tunnel encap/decap actions (EXT-382) intended for OF 1.6 * "versatile" tunnel ports (aka L3 tunnels) The

Hi Jiri, I have answered on your comments in the doc. None of the EXT-382 aspects that you debate are crucial for the L3 tunneling and NSH use cases at hand, so we shouldn't block on those. However, I would still like to make the point that EXT-382 is designed to allow more flexibility for an
