Hi,I have a experimentation with 3 real Host (not VMs). 
Host1(netfpga),host2  and OVS host.
Host 1 (nf2c0:10.1.2.2) <--link1-->OVS host (eth1 :10.1.2.3). 
Host 2 (eth0:10.1.1.2) <--link2-->OVS host (eth0 :10.1.1.3).
I can Ping Host1,Host2<-->OVS host

*Now 

I use OVS for set up a bridge to ping Host 1<--->Host2:
  ovs-vsctl add-br br0
  sudo ifconfig br0 up
  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 of-host1 
  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 of-host2
  ovs-vsctl set interface of-host1 options:remote_ip=10.1.2.3
   ovs-vsctl set interface of-host2 options:remote_ip=10.1.1.3

 Firt time I can't Ping Host 1<--->Host2, then I make a flow table :
sudo  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=1,idle_timeout=129,actions=output:2
sudo  ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=2,idle_timeout=129,actions=output:1


but not work too..

1.What is problem in my experimentation ? and how can I config for Host1 can ping Host2?
2. and where can I find the theorie of OVS? I want to know : how to run of OVS. 

Thanks.
