We will have something to share with you on the mailing list before the end of the week. I'm also preparing a submission for NetDev conf. I wonder if you and others at Google plan to present there as well? If so, then we may want to coordinate our submissions and talks (if accepted). Please let me know this week, thanks! > >>> Overall I like the intent and possibilities for extensions, but a lot of >>> details are missing - perhaps some are answered by seeing an end-to-end >>> implementation. >> >> -- >> Pavel Begunkov > > >
