Hi openvswitch developers,

I have a simple question, however I could not find any way to answer is
"why ovs has no rules, it does not ask the controller". In theory, when a
new packet comes, if there is no matching found, the switch will ask the
controller for actions. In fact, I can see the Packet_in message if I use
mininet to connect to a controller on a different PC.
What I did is I installed both controller and OVS on the same PC which has
multiple network interfaces act as ports of OVS. Then I deleted all flow
rules on the switch (sudo ovs-ofctl del-flows br0) and executed a ping from
that PC to the gateway. I think the switch must ask the controller, but
there is no OF messages!

Please advice,
Thanks,
Minh.
