As far as I know, after receiving a packet, the datapath will send a message to the ovs-vswitchd stating that there is no rule matching that packet. Upon receiving this "missed flow message", ovs-vswitchd can check if the paket ip_dst matches one of its local interfaces' addresses and is able to answer the question telling the datapath to send the packet to the running kernel IP stack. Is there any rule prohibiting this behavior? > You can assign the IP address to br0, though, and that should work. > > --Justin > > > > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > discuss@openvswitch.org > http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org > -- Henrique Rodrigues
