There's nothing to solve. The kernel flow table is used only as a cache for active flows. Flows that aren't active are dropped from the kernel flow table to save memory. If you want to get OpenFlow flow information, use ovs-ofctl instead of ovs-dpctl. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
