+Q: Open vSwitch does not seem to obey my packet filter rules.
+
+A: It's by design. Open vSwitch interacts with packets at a lower layer
+ than typical packet-filter implementations like iptables.
+ For simple filtering rules, it might be possible to achieve similar
+ by installing appropriate OpenFlow flows instead.

+ want to consider to use Linux Bridge, which works with iptables.
+ On NetBSD, you might want to consider to use bridge(4) with BRIDGE_IPF
+ option.
