Hi All-I'm seeing some confusing behavior happening relating to ARPs and OVS 1.2.1 (also on 1.1.1 and probably 1.0.1). This is a XS machine with 1 ethernet port, so in-band connection from OVS to the controller. Specifically there are two cases where I would expect packets to be sent up to the connected controller, but they aren't:
1- VLAN Tagged ARP replies coming in eth0, attached as tagged_arp.pcap2- Gratuitous ARPs sent from the XS host, eg: /sbin/arping -U -c 1 -I xenbr0 -s 10.0.2.5 255.255.255.255, attached as gratuitous_arp.pcap
As a sanity check the flows installed into the xenbr0 datapath are the following, which should not be matching either of these types:
[root@host0005 ~]# ovs-ofctl dump-flows xenbr0 NXST_FLOW reply (xid=0x4):cookie=0x546, duration=528.285s, table=0, n_packets=384, n_bytes=87056, priority=0,in_port=65534,dl_src=00:c0:9f:a0:00:e1,dl_dst=00:19:b9:b0:01:44 actions=output:1 cookie=0x547, duration=528.25s, table=0, n_packets=520, n_bytes=46728, priority=0,in_port=1,dl_src=00:19:b9:b0:01:44,dl_dst=00:c0:9f:a0:00:e1 actions=LOCAL
Also is there a document that specifies OVSs behavior in in-band environments such as XS with one ethernet port? I would expect after the controller is connected that all packets coming in/out other than the controller connection (and possibly ARPs towards the controller ip/gateway?) should flow through the flowtable/controller, but maybe my expectation is incorrect.
Thanks, David
