Hey folks,

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this problem seems related to the
logical flow order.

How does it work when there is no n-d-r?
- the FIP traffic is redirected from the external host to the openstack
network provider (no explicit next-hop) and the path is discovered via ARP
and then forwarded by the FIP's dnat_and_snat action.

When n-d-r starts to advertise the FIPs via BGP it informs the router's
external IP as the FIP's next_hop [1].
The order of the logical flows must be interfering with the action
performed (should do a default router nat action first or do a
dnat_and_snat for the FIP?)

I think you have two alternatives to test some possible fix:
1 - Look the OVN backend in Neutron and map (Neutron/OVN) the tables used
for the two types of traffic (NAT for routers and NAT for FIPs), and maybe
change the priority of the flow actions (very complex)
2 - Change the n-d-r to not advertise the router's gw port IP in next_hop
[1] (ovn case), maybe changing it to the FIP address (would need to study
how the bgp peer expects to receive the next_hop to compose the AS_PATH).
