I wanted to use the GARP request, but found a problem. OVN currently programs flows to respond to gratuitous arp requests from VMs, Such flows also respond to ARP probes from VMs. This behavior needs to change so that OVN must not respond to GARP requests or ARP probes. It must flood them. This change is a work in progress. In fact, some DHCP clients send ARP probes after the DHCP ACK to verify no address collisions, and upon seeing ARP probe response will decline dhcp offered IP. As soon as the above problem is fixed, I can update the code to generate GARP requests. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
