To get back to the heart of the matter, there is no exact equivalent to this in OVS. This command will return the packet to the stack on the original interface (i.e. eth0) whereas sending to LOCAL will output on the bridge interface (such as br0). I suspect that the problem is that your listener is bound to the Ethernet interface. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
