Do you know how could GPE work with GBP they want to use the same bits in header for data? Seems like these are mutually exclusive extensions. RCO should be fine with either :-)Yes, GBP and GPE are mutually exclusive extensions. Although GPE would allow to define an intermediate header for additional metadata, f.e. encoded as GUE or Geneve options.
The latest GPE draft uses eight bits for next protocol, so if you make the security field eight bits it would fit nicely in the octet before the next protocol. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
