Could someone please help me with why, when I setup the below mirrors on a
respective OVS bridge, I only see the broadcast traffic for the VM in
question?

Here's was my first mirror setup:

ip link add name dummy3 type dummy
ip link set dev dummy3 up

ovs-vsctl add-port br-ex3 dummy3

ovs-vsctl -- set bridge br-ex3 mirrors=@m \
-- --id=@src get port pat-ex3-bss \
-- --id=@mir get port dummy3 \
-- --id=@m create mirror name=ovs_mirror3 select-dst-port=@src
select-src-port=@src output-port=@mir select-all=true

When I tcpdump the respective dummy interface attached to br-ex3, I only
see broadcast traffic for the VM in question, I never see unicast traffic
(case and point, if I ping the broadcast address on the VM, then traffic
show's up in the tcpdump). I can do a tcpdump on the external interface and
see the unicast traffic though, but I need to see where it's breaking in
the OVS bridges.

Is there some trick to mirror unicast dataplane traffic?

Thanks in advance!
