So, What does that exactly mean?
It means that you guys have a function answering to the "install
meter"-like requests but it is not implemented in the switch?
I saw some patches (though I don't know what that means exactly too) that
were talking about meters in the ovs-ofctl function.
Could you give me a reference to understand the difference between
kernel-based and userspace switches?
