Hi Everyone,

I am working with mininet and ovs. For my experiment I added a link between
the mininet switch and global namespace of my virtual machine where my
controller resides. Relevant interfaces of this link on both sides (global
namespace and inside mininet) are up and running.

Problem is this switch can not connect to the controller in the global
namespace. As per my understanding, the switch will try to reach
controller from all of its interfaces. I checked and found following-

mininet> sc1 tc -s -d qdisc  show dev sc1-ethc
qdisc noqueue 0: root refcnt 2
 Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

mininet> sc1 tc -s -d qdisc  show dev sc1-eth2
qdisc htb 1: root refcnt 2 r2q 10 default 0x1 direct_packets_stat 0 ver
3.17 direct_qlen 1000
 Sent 3812 bytes 32 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

mininet> sc1 tc -s -d qdisc  show dev sc1-eth3
qdisc htb 1: root refcnt 2 r2q 10 default 0x1 direct_packets_stat 0 ver
3.17 direct_qlen 1000
 Sent 3883 bytes 33 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

As it can be seen there is no pkt passing via interface sc1-ethc, which is
connected to the controller in the global namespace. Although all other
interfaces are trying to connect to the controller.

Could anyone please help me to understand why it's happening and how to
overcome this situation?

Thank you.

Kind Regards-
