Hi all, 
 
Trying to find the reason why my packets are dropped on my last outgoing port.
 
I am receiving packets in an OVS bridge, sending those packets to another OVS 
bridge on the same node using patch-ports. Kind of the following:
 
__________________NODE A___________________      ___NODE B___
_______br_core______          _____br_access_______
eth0 --> patch-porteth0 ------> patch-porteth1 --> eth1 -----> eth1
          192.168.168.50                    192.168.167.50                 
192.168.167.51

I have a rule on my br_access that shows these packets hit the rule.... but 
rather than sending these packets out... they are all dropped. I use iperf to 
send udp packets and they are all dropped... Can someone help on showing me how 
to debug that thing? How can I log the reason why the drop counter increases. I 
don't even understand why it just blindly sends the packet out through that 
interface since the rule is saying it should.
 
The only reason why I created a br_access bridge was because I was not able to 
go out of the br_core to use normal ip routing..... I used a rule to force 
actions=NORMAL when receiving a certain packet with a dest ip in br_core.... 
but it failed.. so I created a patch bridge like shown below... but I'm still 
not able to get the packets I want.... I basically.. just want to go out of the 
OVS switch to use normal routing... can someone help on how to achieve this. 
Been blocked for some time now and my pressure is building up ;-)
 
thanks for your time, 
samantha
