For what it's worth, I believe that this is a limitation for each OVS instance - each instance can only run bridges in the namespace it is running. If you ran multiple copies of OVS in different network namespaces / containers, it should work. (So would running the copies in different VMs) _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
