Does VIO LBaaS support L7 switching capabilities?

Hi, I confirmed that I could use features of L4 LBaaS with VIO2.0 + NSX-v, which is described below.

( http://pubs.vmware.com/integrated-openstack-2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.openstack.install.doc%2F... )

By the way, I want to use a feature of L7 switching.

In OpenStack, Neutron community says L7 switching capabilities are added in Liberty release cycle as below.

( https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/LBaaS/l7 )

I know that the version of VIO-2.0 is Kilo.

But does VIO support L7 LBaaS using NSX-v feature?

If VIO do it, could you please tell me the place of document about it.

Our current LBaaS support within the NSX-v plugin is LBaaSv1.

We're working on LBaaS v2 in our next VIO release (2.5) based on OpenStack Kilo.

This will bring the following extra service: HTTPS VIP with SSL offload (Clients talk to the VIP on HTTPS - Load Balancer talks to the servers on HTTP).

Note: The API of LBaaSv1 is different than the API of LBaaSv2.
