vlan1 is an OVS internal port:

  ifconfig vlan1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
  ssh foo@10.0.0.2

Maybe my nomenclature is somehow off here? I had assumed that if I gave an
OVS internal port an IP address and put it in my routing table, I'd be
sending TCP packets on it pretty fast. Isn't that what internal ports are
for?
