[ovs-discuss] Collapsing Flow Table Rules in ovs

hi

At the level of the dpif, table id does not seem to percolate through nor
does goto table or resubmit action in any form ;
and dpif  seems to maintain a single table only.
This collapse of flow table rules spanning multiple tables into a single
rule in a single table is presumably by intent ? or is there a plan to
address in a future ovs version ?

So ofproto takes care of capturing the properties of the flow and cascaded
actons which could occur on a packet in its lifetime and posts the final
flow via dpif_flow put ?

Have a few other questions, but would wait for a response on this one
before posting subsequent further queries ?

thx
