Hi ,
Please find setup and testing procedure below.
1> In the above setup, Client Program tries to send packet with src_mac:
3:3:3:3:3:3 and dst_mac: 1:1:1:1:1:1.
2> Packet is flood to port tap2.
3> Why does OVS flood packets when dst_mac received is its own port's mac
address.
4> As it forwards to other ports, there is no one to reply for dst_mac
other than OVS bridge itself.
5> Where as in case of Linux bridge, packet is not flooded to other ports.
Instead packet is dropped.
Could you please tell me how do switches in real work? As per my
understanding there should be static entries in forwarding table of switch for
its own mac addresses.
And default action should be present for it.
Regards,
Shyam
