Either you misread what i said or i miscommunicated.
The exact similarity is in classifier action in the datapath.
The bridge, as i suggested, could have had at least two features
added to it in regards to learning to achieve what you wanted it to.
But as pointed out the bridge - which is a victim of combining policy
and mechanism in one spot - already has too many features. If we cleanly
separate out those things, then i dont see why we need two bridge
implementations.
Ok, so here's a digression:
I am uncomfortable with the fact i have to use ovs as the way to
configure things in a 48 port Gige switch. In Linux we have netdevs;
if you expose things as netdevs, for starters i can use standard
tools to do things to them. But this is a side discussion I started
with Justin - so you may have no pony in this race.
cheers,
jamal
