Hi Justin:

Thanks. Is it possible to dump the flows into the ovsdb so if I have a backup 
ovs instance,, it can just load the flow information? Or, is it expected to 
have redundant openflow controllers to do that? 

Much Thanks
Morgan Yang

Who is populating the MAC table?  If it's your controller (as it appears in 
your output), then that's the best way.  If you're using the OVS's "normal" 
action, then "ovs-appctl fdb/show <bridge>".
