Are you saying that's not the case? The man page for those two actions says: flood Outputs the packet on all switch physical ports other than the port on which it was received and any ports on which flooding is disabled (typically, these would be ports disabled by the IEEE 802.1D spanning tree proto‐ col). all Outputs the packet on all switch physical ports other than the port on which it was received. > And, i am aware of the 5sec ageout in kernel datapath, so i was sending > packets every sec and monitoring the kernel flow. Are any counters going up that would indicate that OVS is actually receiving the frames? _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
