I am currently using nox and openvswitch in order to write a simple
dhcp plugin for nox. I am trying to generate dhcp packets on the
controller and push them out throught the openvswitch to the network.
the packet I send is (using -V option on tshark):

The packet thought contained in the openflow packet_out packet, is
never seen going out in any of the interfaces (I use tcpdump to
monitor the relevant interfaces).

My questions are the following:
1) Is packet_out supported by openvswitch?
2) Where would I see a message in case the packet I send is malformed?
3) Is there maybe something wrong with the packet I send?

thanks in advance for any help provided.
