My understanding of how internal type device work. Internal type device is special. when a packet sent to internal type device from outside, it will immediately forward to openvswitch module to decide where to go? when a packet sent to internal type device from openvswitch module, it will be forwarded to internal device by netif_rx as PACKET_HOST packet.
And i know, when user use ovs-dpctl add-dp dp1, it will create one same name internal device dp1. My question about why openvswitch need internal type device? what kind of role internal type device play at openvswitch?
