OVS wouldn't normally drop packets. It would normally happen before or after OVS. OVS *can* drop packets at the kernel/user interface. Those would show up in "ovs-dpctl show" as "lost" packets. Are you looking at the OVS vport stats or the stats via e.g. "ifconfig"? Both are relevant. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
