Hi,All

it says in ovs-ofctl(8) when flow's action is 'normal',packet will be
directed to normal L2/L3 proccessing.
1.what is normal L2/L3 proccessing?does this mean ovs forward the packet
according a mac tables? if so,and where i can see the mac tables?
2.after i installed ovs, i can see there is one record in flow table,it
seems that all packets are directed to normal proccessing.does this mean
all packets must first go through flow tabls no matter what mode it's
woking in(normal/open flow mode)?

Thanks in advance,[?]
