If OVS generated a packet with some nonzero size payload, would that fix the problem? It's easy for us to change the details, we would just add some code to flow_compose_l4() in lib/flow.c to put some L7 data into the UDP packet. I suspect that changing the tutorial from using UDP to TCP might also work around the issue? After all, TCP packets with empty payloads are pretty common, at least (off the top of my head) if they have SYN or FIN or RST attached. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
