fine without that static flow mapping, it just becomes impossible to reach VM after mac-table ages out -- because of the no-flood on the port, but as long as mac-table is populated all is good... On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 11:41 AM, Tom Gajewski wrote: > That's the requirement, that's

o requests. So am I being stupid here do I need another flow to facilitate the return? (mac-table still doesn't have an entry when I observe ICMP request within VM). On Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at 11:50 AM, Tom Gajewski wrote: > There has to be something inherently wrong with that flow since once
