Thanks. I remembered one more issue and added the following text to
cover it:
0. When the remote switch has not learned the MAC for the
destination of a unicast packet and hence floods the packet to
all of the links on the SLB bond, Open vSwitch will forward
duplicate packets, one per link, to each other switch port.
Open vSwitch does not solve this problem.
