Hello, I have tested OVS patch ports functionality in a simple 3 bridges network by using Mininet custom topology. I configured macro flows by cross connecting the different bridge ports. Packets passed between the different bridges and I was able to confirm by inspecting OVS flows counters.
I have been looking for documentation about OVS implementation of patch ports. Specifically, I need to learn about the metadata that is passed between the different bridges as packets proceed from one bridge to another. Is their a data structure (other than the skb) that is passed along? Are the input ports and output ports values, that a given packet traversed for different bridges, kept around through the life of the packet? Any pointers are much appreciated. Thank you, Fouad Hallal Digital Ocean
