why it must go through table 0 ?
I am added one flow as follow
sudo ./ovs-ofctl add-flow br0
priority=65535,idle_timeout=50000,dl_type=0x0800,in_port=ANY,nw_src=192.168.1.9,nw_dst=192.168.1.14,table=21,actions=output:4

and ping from 192.168.1.9 for 192.168.1.14 but when i am looking for entry
in the table no.21 with dump-tables br0
in the lookup and matched field show no values i.e 0 both. i supposed that
it will show me no. of packets send from .9 to .14 in matched field , i
don't understand why ?

and after pushing flow it will go in database that created by ovsdb-tool ?
can print incoming packets and how ?
