[ovs-discuss] OVS and L2 loop preventation protocol like Extreme ESRP

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hello,

Any plans to support simple L2 loop preventation protocols like Extreme's ESRP in OVS?

I'd need something like that. I know one could implement it using ovs openflow and openflow controller..
but I was wondering if there's an 'easier' way currently?

Thanks,
