[ovs-discuss] Firewall questions

[Ashok Chippa]

Thank you Justin and Maurice. I just found the answers I was looking for
punting to controller and re-injecting the packet back into the pipeline.
Yes, the "controller" action will do. And "resubmit" action for
re-injecting the pkt back into the pipeline. Great that command completion
will be available. :)

Thanks
Ashok
