Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question but i
would appreciate to have some help or pointers in this direction.

I am using ovs 1.7 so that it has openflow support builtin.

Now on my Linux machine (CentOS 6.3), i configure a PPP tunnel as a client
so that once the tunnel is up, i have a virtual interface ppp0 along with
physical interface eth0 on my machine.

My target was to control these two ports eth0 and ppp0 using ovs openflow
mechanism.

To proceed, i created a bridge interface, slapped eth0 ip on it, and added
both eth0 and ppp0 (pt-2-pt tunnel, pppoe) to this bridge. Normally if i
try to bridge an ethernet port with ppp tunnel using brctl, it never works,
however using openvswitch i never get any error and both ports are added
and can be shown by giving *ovs-vsctl show br0* command.

However, when i query this ovs to show ports, it only returns the loopback
br0 and eth0 port and there is nothing shown for ppp0. same result i get by
connecting this switch to external openflow controller.

can you suggest what could be the problem here, or is there another way to
go about achieving this goal.

Thanks for your help,
