You might be confusing the two flows here. Suppose flow A has a "learn" action, which creates flow B when a given packet passes through it. Packets passing through flow A do nothing regarding the idleness of flow B; only packets passing through flow B would keep it alive. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
