Introduces a new Netlink attribute RTA_TUNNEL which allows routes to set tunnel transmit metadata and specify the tunnel endpoint or tunnel id on a per route basis. The route must point to a tunnel device which understands per skb tunnel metadata and has been put into the respective mode.We've been discussing something similar for the purposes of IP over MPLS, but most of the attributes for IP tunnels aren't relevant for MPLS. It be great if we can come up with something general enough that can serve both purposes. I've just sent a patch series ("[RFC net-next 0/3] IP imposition of per-nh MPLS encap") which I believe would allow this.
Nice! On a first glance, your series looks like an excellent complement to this series. I'll comment directly in your series. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
