Hello, Support for configuring OVS bridges has been added to our (SUSE) network manager. During test (OVS 2.1.2, kernel 3.12.x), a couple things have been uncovered that I'd love to get some feedback on.
1. OVS bridges appear to report up state, regardless if this is true. For example, up is reported even if the underlying bridge port is down, or internally OVS has not yet set up the necessary flows to allow for data transmission. Is this something that is planned to be addressed? I realize 2.1.2 is an older version, so perhaps this has already been addressed in later versions of OVS? 2. OVS does not appear to handle hotplugging. For example, if a port, which is attached to the an OVS bridge (thus is correctly reflected in ovsdb) arrives on the system _after_ the actual `add-port` operation was performed, it will not get enslaved under the ovs-system interface. In this case, a manual `del-port/add-port` is needed. Is there any plan to add netlink monitoring of interface states (NEWLINK/DELLINK, etc) + enslavement when appropriate? Thanks!
