Status: slow progress, waiting on OVS support from Citrix
Tasks:
- Adapt vif_rules.py to support OVS. Do we split it out into individual files to allow Linux Bridge and OVS to be independent?
- Receive IPv6 capable OVS from Citrix and validate with IPv6 rules.
Q: Citrix isn't committed to do anything on this blueprint. What are you waiting for, Thierry? -- Ewan.
