That's the requirement, that's why I started this topic. I've
demonstrated that port 13 works perfectly fine with no-flood as long
as the mac-table of openvswitch is populated with its MAC, I still
don't understand why we can't adding a static entry here, seems silly.
But I've pretty much accomplished that with the dl_dst flow however
not all the way.... The goal is static mac-table and static arp. I
have it working to the point where I see ICMP echo request make it to
the VM behind port 13 just not back.
