[Sandeep Adapala]

Hello All,

I am planning to have 2 containers talk to each other using ovs-dpdk
interface on a same host. this is how I started installing OVN on Docker.

http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/howto/docker/#the-overlay-mode

I was trying to create a network using docker but I get the same error
every time not sure what I am doing wrong can you please help me out.


NID=`sudo docker network create -d openvswitch --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 foo`
Error response from daemon: remote: create_network: lswitch-add Fatal error
