Hi Jan, Thanks for the clarification. I also came across patch port as the best option between ovs Bridges. But, is it possible to use patch ports to an external OpenFlow bridge? Like one bridge is OVS, other is Lagopus bridge or LINC bridge? For my use case, I want to send packets from OVS Bridge to another OpenFlow bridge(like a loopback port) as OVS doesn't support the functionality I am looking for.
