Is in-band control turned on for the controller? Is the controller connecting over TCP or SSL or a Unix domain socket? Can you show me the output from "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" for the ARP reply? Could you try running the ARP reply packet through "ofproto/trace" to show how it gets processed through the flow table? _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
