I should have responded to this question in my previous email. Packet statistics are recorded in a best-effort fashion. In general they should be accurate, but there is no hard guarantee that they are especially in certain edge cases involving complex flow tables including resubmit actions. In short, you should expect accurate statistics from OVS noting the aforementioned caveat. Thanks again for reporting this bug.
