[ovs-discuss] Avoiding loops and floods

Hello,

I want to ask some questions about flooding messages in openvswtich.

I think that it's possible to avoid flooding messages through blocking
ports (i read something about OFPPC_NO_FLOOD in OpenFlow specification, but
I don't know how I can use it). I think maybe using some type of
openflowmessage...  How I do this?

And other question, is it possible to filter the type of messages that the
switch can flood through a port (e.g. in order to avoid loops)

Thanks!
