Re: Why OpenStack use openvpn?

 

Hao,

I think Thierry and Nachi captured it well in their email responses to the
thread. The Openstack foundation would (should) get a MAC OUI allocation
from IEEE RAC that will be used as default instead of using the current
default locally administered base_mac of fa:16:3e:00:00:00.

Nothing more complicated than that.
