I don't know anything about your controller software, so I won't be able to help you diagnose problems with it. However, if it helps, in OVS an "internal" port is one that OVS has created as a system device. For example, if you created a bridge called "br0", then OVS would create an internal device called "br0" that shows up in ifconfig.
