[libvirt-users] Virtual switches support (Openvswitch, VDE,...)

Hi, IIR/UC there have been a couple of discussions lately about possible evolution of libvirt's network management features to eventually support more kinds of virtual networking technologies like Openvswitch, VDE,... Could a kind and informed soul keep us on touch with progress in the field ? Thank you very much in advance PS: I wish this will be available before/for 1.0 release...

Thank you very much for the heads up. Will read it carefully and try to give valuable feedback... Hoping I didn't broke any good behaviour, I posted a message on Openvswitch ML to tell the community about this. You can find the message here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2011-June/005302.html thanks in advance,
Thank _you_
