The main purpose of this bridge is to enable an indirect connection to the Controller across multiple Switches so the flow needs to exist before the Controller is connected. Is there another way to enable classic forwarding on a bridge ? The main problem is that my switch runs ovs but needs a dedicated port for the controller connection.. The purpose of the second bridge is to forward traffic to this port.
