Hi,
MAC addresses mentioned in the diagram are just for example.
MAC addresses used were as follows:
Client Program:
52:54:00:00:01:02
Server Program:
52:56:11:80:80:41
TAP1:
52:F3:12:E4:6D:A9
TAP2:
72:17:32:32:15:F8
Regards,
Shyam

Subject: Re: [ovs-discuss] Flooding of packets destined to OVS port's mac
address
I don't know the answer, but some of your mac addresses have multi-cast bit
enabled. So I wonder whether that is the problem.

Hi ,
Please find setup and testing procedure below.
[cid:[email protected]]
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
