[ovs-discuss] L2 lookups without 'NORMAL' action for a flow

[murali reddy]

I have use-case where I want exclude a port from both flooding and from
mac-learning as well.  Solution mentioned in [1][2] will achieve what i
want. But i do not want to flood the packets on all the ports but would
like to go through the L2 lookup to avoid flooding. One way is i can
implement mac-learning and then do the lookup on the table with flow rules.
But my question, is there a way i can use any other option than 'NORMAL' to
achieve L2 look up yet avoid mac-learning on the port.
