Yes, currently OVS isn't sending out BPDUs in listening and learning states. But those two states are temporary, the stp port will be in forwarding state and send out BPDUs eventually (In the default configuration listening and learning states last 15+15 second). So this minor problem may only increase the convergence time, in my opinion. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
