[ovs-discuss] Is isolating broadcast on a bridge possible ?

Ben,  Thanks for your reply. But can you tell what is the use of ovs-controller ? And how does it interact with vswitchd/ovs-db ?   Thanks, Mehul. On Friday, October 11, 2013 10:34 PM, Ben Pfaff wrote: On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 07:35:12AM -0700, Mehul Vora wrote: > ? I am trying to understan
