I can't think of what you might be seeing. OVS doesn't have a discovery protocol.
The L2 protocols that OVS itself implements are LACP, CFM, and STP, but all of them of them are disabled by default. The administrator has to turn them on manually. The Linux IPv6 stack does some kind of link-level negotiation automatically whenever a link comes up. Maybe you're seeing that. But it's not part of OVS, and it should only send one packet or so immediately after a link comes up.
