[ovs-dev] OVS with NAT Configuration

[Justin Pettit]

You don't need to post the same messages to discuss and dev.  Please just choose one forum, since most of us are in both.

Here's the answer I gave in ovs-discuss:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Yes, connection tracking is part of 2.5.  However, the release states: "This feature makes it possible to implement stateful firewalls and will be the basis for future stateful features such as NAT and load-balancing."  Notice that it's referring to future features, which means they're not in that release.  The NAT code was accepted by the upstream Linux kernel and is currently being backported to earlier kernels, so I expect that they'll be in the next OVS release.
