Your answer was very helpful. Can you please give more examples, How can I 
allow http out and http in traffic? Then I can explore on my own. 

Thanks,
DV

Subject: Re: [ovs-discuss] apply ACL to control network traffic


ACLs can be created by adding flow entries to the switch.  By default the flow 
table of Open vSwitch contains one entry, which is to perform the normal switch 
processing on all traffic (allow all).  To restrict traffic you can create 
additional flow entries using the ovs-ofctl program.  A simple example would be:


utilities/ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 idle_timeout=0,icmp,action=


This will drop all ICMP traffic flowing across switch br0.  The ovs-ofctl man 
page describes the syntax of this command (and more).

Hi,
 
I am new user to open vswitch. I am using open vswitch on XenServer. I want to 
know how to create ACL to control network traffic and how can I have ACL 
specific to particular VM? In short I want to know about ACL configuration in 
open vswitch. Can anyone suggest me source of details regarding this?
 
Thanks,
Devang
