Hey Markus, I tried this but did not receive any traffic on OVS.
ip link add type veth
ifconfig veth1 20.20.20.20/32 up(veth0 added to OVS)
and then i played traffic on veth1
tcpreplay -i veth1 arp.pcap
Traffic doesnot reach the other end. The traffic cannot even be seen
on veth1 this way(tcpdump/wireshark)
