Yea I saw that but my question is ...should I be changing that? I am sort of new to ovs. is there any other way to connect switches?
Since the same packet is being forwarded by all switches it reaches that recursion limit. so apart from increasing this limit ..do we have another solution? Thanks for all the input!
