Hi all,

I created some ACLs in OVN, and want to trace each OVN-SB logical flow to the 
corresponding OVN-NB ACL table row. To achieve it, I refer to the "stage-hint" 
value of Logical_Flow.External_Ids and compare the UUID.

However, when multiple datapaths have the same ACL rule, these rules will be 
combined into a single logical flow with a logical_dp_group. The merged logical 
flow has only one "stage-hint" UUID value. Therefore, some OVN-NB ACL table 
rows can no longer be tracked in OVN-SB.

Would it be possible to keep all stage-hint UUIDs when ovn-northd performs the 
flow combination? Or are there any workarounds to prevent an ACL from being 
merged? Currently, I am setting different names to each ACL to make them 
distinct. However, that also forces ACL logging that creates extra traffic 
overheads.


Best,
Qiaofeng
