[ovs-discuss] How does OVS ensure only the first packet of a flow is upcalled?

Hi, All The document of ovs says the datapath is a flow-based software switch. A flow consists of many packets. Datapath needs to handle every packet. When it does't match any datapath flows, it will do upcall. Vswitchd needs to handle upcalls and send netlink messages to datapath to install
