Hi Joe,
Thank you for clarifying.
I did a search and i found following prints in ovs-vswitchd.log
2014-11-20T08:00:42.696Z|00006|ofproto_dpif|INFO|system@ovs-system:
Datapath supports recirculation
2014-11-20T08:00:42.696Z|00007|ofproto_dpif|INFO|system@ovs-system:
MPLS label stack length probed as 1
So while pushing labels, datapath is forwarding to userspace.
Userspace is able to push two labels and forward the packet. Tcpdump
shows packets being forwarding with two labels.
But the ping fails between two hosts due to failure in poping two
labels. i see following logs when the host receives a packet with two
labels( i am using the same flows as i sent in first mail)
2014-11-21T06:42:03.943Z|01177|dpif(handler7)|WARN|system@ovs-system:

Looks like Userspace fails to execute the actions. So is this a bug?
Thanks
