Hello everyone, I am new to OpenVswitch and would like to ask a fundamental question regarding the flow table. I looked the code and saw it has a 12-13 tuple matching key (unless i miss understood) which consist of MAC's src and dst IP's , TCP/UDP ports, TOS, VLAN...
What i am wondering is why is it not just L2 MAC's ? (with maybe support for tunneling) Are these flow entries used for openvswitch support of "distirubition accross multipile physical networks" and live migration? (VM's on the same hypervisor cant have the same MAC's right? ) I would appreciate it if someone can please explain to me where i am wrong, or can point me to where i can read some more information regarding that issue. Thanks in advance! Gal.
