By default, the backoff starts at 1 second and doubles until it reaches 8 seconds, where it stays until a reconnection. The maximum can be set with the "max_backoff" column in the Controller table. (The configurability of this and your datapath id question are both documented in the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.) It will continue trying to reconnect forever. --Justin _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
