Hi everyone, Using in-band control, I've observed by Wireshark that the OFPT_HELLO packet is captured on one interface(ethX added to OVS bridge). Originally, I thought that all of the ports of the bridge direct the control traffic. The reason is that in in-band.c, the hidden flow only specify the MAC and/or IP address for match field but not port.
It turned out that my original thought is wrong since only one port is used for control traffic based on my Wireshark observation. My question is: Does it make sense to have control traffic go through every interface(port) ? This way, the control plane might sustain better if the only control-traffic port is down? I've also done an experiment on turning off the control-traffic port, and the result shows that OVS spends around 10s to re-connect to the same controller with OFPT_HELLO message observed another interface. Thanks for your help! Ethan
