Re: [ovs-discuss] How does OVS learns the remote MACs
I think as OVS support OVSDB, it can learn the remote MACs from the OVSDB controller, but I guess this is not native support. If possible, can you provide an outline of how this control path can be supported natively? Can you elaborate what do you mean by "writing the flows"? I am also looking for some overview of architecture of OVS. I found couple of videos online, but they are quite old. Simon Horman (2012), Michael Zayats (2015), Ben Pfaff (2013). Are there any meetup taking place for OVS?

OVS supports VxLAN as a tunnel encapsulation, but doesn't natively support the control path. I don't think it would be that difficult to write flows that implement the control path in OVS, though. --Justin ___ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
[ovs-discuss] How does OVS learns the remote MACs
Hello, In case of VxLAN configuration on OVS, how does it learn the remote MACs? The local macs are typically learned when a data packet is sent out over an interface, How does it learn the remote MAC?
