So, you don't want traffic to return to OVS? If so, why you need that interface to be in OVS at all? You may create another veth pair and add one side of it to OVS, then add an OpenFlow rule to direct all traffic from veth1 to that new port. Traffic will appear on the other side of a veth. Though I'm not sure why OVS is in the picture in the first place. > > Thanks & Regards, > RS > > On Mon, Jan 15, 2024 at 10:23 PM Ilya Maximets <i.maxim...@ovn.org > <mailto:i.maxim...@ovn.org>> wrote: > > On 1/15/24 21:05, Reshma Sreekumar via discuss wrote: > > I see..thanks for the explanation.
