Hi, dear,
Thanks for your quickly reply.
I've insmod the OvS to replace original kernal bridge in the KVM host, and
configured br0 and vif1(qemu param:-net tap,vlan=0,ifname=vif1) which is the
interface of the KVM guest.
#ovs-vsctl add-br br0
#ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vif1
Then it seems like that:
#ovs-dpctl show br0
sys...@dp0:
flows: xxxx
...
port 0: br0 (internal)
port 1: vif1 <--- The KVM guest interface
Then I ifconfig br0 with 192.168.2.1 in the KVM host, and ifconfig eth0 with
192.168.2.2 in the KVM guest.
I think the KVM guest(192.168.2.2) and br0(192.168.2.1) should be connected
automatically, is it? But the tcpdump result is strange that the vif1 could
send packet to br0, but could not receive any incoming packet.
If ping from kvm guest(2.2) to br0(2.1), br0 will receive arp request and
return mac addr correctly, but the guest(2.2) will not receive the returned mac
addr.
If ping from br0 to kvm guest, br0 sent arp request, but kvm guest(2.2) still
received no packet.
There maybe something wrong, either the configuration of OvS or the KVM, it
will be great help if you have some ideas, or give me some suggestions on how
to debug, thanks!

Yes.

That is correct. More than that, though, ovs-vswitchd acts like a full-featured
switch; it includes capabilities such as native VLAN support, mirroring (SPAN
and RSPAN), and visibility (NetFlow and sFlow). ovs-openflowd, is really meant
just to be an alternative for the OpenFlow reference implementation; it's just
a simple wrapper around our OpenFlow library.

As I mention above, ovs-openflowd is meant to just be an alternative for the
OpenFlow reference implementation. ovs-vswitchd provides many of the features
expected from a more full-featured switch. Both support OpenFlow, though.

I'd recommend looking at ovs-controller (in the Open vSwitch distribution) or
NOX (http://noxrepo.org).
