Hi Herbert and Jamal (and everyone else),

Sorry about starting yet another thread but the other one went in so
many directions that I think a lot of things got lost in it.  As I
mentioned before, I'd like to have a bit of a design discussion of
what it would look like if Open vSwitch were to use some of the
existing components (and really focus on just that).  There were a
number of suggestions made about using parts of the bridge, tc,
netfilter, etc. and some of them overlap or conflict so I don't quite
have a coherent solution in mind.  Would you guys mind walking through
what each of you envision it looking like?

Thanks,
Jesse
