Hello,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Well in your defense, brcompat isn't the solution to using openvswitch to it's full potential anyways. I think it's better to create the wrapper scripts to call ovsctl directly or whatever it's called now.</blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>I completely agree and you both a very good point here. The reason why we chose to use brcompat instead of directly ovs-vsctl is because configuration is much simpler. OpenNebula admins would need to change qemu-if* scripts or the xen network scripts to substitute regular brctl calls with the equivalent ovs-vsctl calls. It's not too hard, but we figured that it would be better to simplify it to a maximum.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If at some point the openvswitch team ceases development on brcompatd, or if opennebula users report that using brcompatd is much worse, we could always change our strategy and document the necessary step to use open vswitch without brcompatd.</div>
