Description Eelco Chaudron 2021-03-05 10:49:20 UTC
Currently, the NULL snat case is not supported by OVS userspace conntrack, this needs to be added, especially to support the BZ1910378 use case with DPDK.

See BZ1910378, and BZ1935663 for more details.

Comment 6 Paolo Valerio 2021-07-16 14:31:51 UTC
Patch got accepted upstream for 2.16.
It will not be backported because it's considered a new feature.
