Thanks Peter for the suggestion.
I tried the script, but what i am noticing is that the flow rules that the
script adds gets deleted very quickly. I tried adding idle_timeout=0
hard_timeout=0 to the flowrules to ensure that it never gets deleted. But
its not of use. How do i make a permanent flow entry in the flow table?

This is an example of flow rule additions from the leafandspine.py script:

 call(['ovs-vsctl', 'set', 'bridge', switch,
'protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow13'])
        call(['ovs-ofctl', '-O', 'OpenFlow13', 'add-flow', switch, 'table=0
priority=100 idle_timeout=0 hard_timeout=0 actions=goto_table:1 '])

Thanks,
Lavanya
