Hi,
Does openvswitch allows an alternate routing mechanism in case of link failure.
Can a flow be deleted right away if the link is down and another path be taken
without intervention from the controller?
Basically, I was wondering if it is possible to create 2 static flows (same
matching rules but different priorities) in order to create an alternate
routing scheme. If a link (interface) goes down, can it either be removed from
the flow table right away or can it stay but all the traffic goes to another
flow rule until we get the new set of flows from controller?
I am aware of the expiry timers when there is no activity on a flow, but this
involves a new flow being sent from the controller and this is too slow, i am
looking for a "temporary" solution where packets can flow prior to get any
reply from the controller (like an alternate routing path until we get new
instruction from the controller).
thanks to all,
sam
