Description updated with SRU documentation, apologies for the delay.

** Description changed:

- In an OpenStack Ussuri (both Focal and Bionic) cloud we discovered that
- multicast traffic would fail between VMs on different hypervisors and
- when using provider networks.  The following table reflects what we
- found works/didn't work:
+ [Impact]

multicast traffic would fail between VMs on different hypervisors and when 
using provider networks.

+ [Test Plan]
+ The upstream fix also contains an addition to the OVN testsuite confirming 
the correct behavior. We cat utilize this test case to perform both a control 
test on a unmodified package as well as confirming that a updated package fixes 
the problem.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The fix touches a code path that is executed only when OVN is configured to 
enable handling of Multicast traffic. The fix has also been available for 
several upstream releases without any reported issues.

  Based on this, I went looking at relevant changes upstream and found
  that this appears to have been fixed upstream, but not backported to OVN
  20.03:
  
  https://github.com/ovn-
  org/ovn/commit/97778ab3e422ac071faa67f9f477fd54977e9c04
  
  I backported this patch to the version of OVN in Ussuri here:
  
    https://launchpad.net/~elmo/+archive/ubuntu/sf322809
  
  These patched packages have been tested on a customer site and confirmed
  to fix the problem.
  
  I've attached the patch from the PPA for convenience.

** Changed in: ovn (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: Incomplete => In Progress
