[pve-devel] [PATCH] support QinQ / vlan stacking

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

>>Does that make sense to support both or is the future openvswitch anyway? 

They are missing thing in openvswitch (qinq for example, also igmp snooping,...)
So I think it's okay to keep both currently.

(I think the real future will be something like snabbswitch, but not before 1 or 2 years)

Does that make sense to support both or is the future openvswitch anyway?
