[ovs-dev] [PATCH ovn] ovn-northd: Fix documentation and comments for bridged redirection.

Ben Pfaff blp at ovn.org
Mon Feb 24 23:39:22 UTC 2020


The series that introduced redirect-type first used "vlan" as the
name for the feature, then changed to "bridged" without updating all
the comments and the documentation.  This updates those.

CC: Ankur Sharma <ankur.sharma at nutanix.com>
Fixes: 37cd27b8a85e ("OVN: Vlan backed DVR N-S, redirect-type option")
Fixes: 8ba15c3d1084 ("OVN: Vlan backed DVR N-S, avoid get_arp on non redirect chassis.")
Fixes: 03493b33c073 ("OVN: Vlan backed DVR N-S, redirect packet via localnet port")
