Hi,

I have a network with two hosts communication with each other through an 
OVS. What happens in OVS is that when an OVS gets a packet with no 
flows, it forwards it to the controller.

I want that the packets that are forwarded to the controller should also 
be forwarded to another work station for management and threat detection 
purposes. How can I forward all the packets that are forwarded to the 
controller to another work station? Secondly, what should be the IP 
address of this work station (should it be on same network as OVS or on 
different network)?

Regards,
Asad.
