[ovs-discuss] How to allow OVS see libpcap devices

[Miller, Zachary]

Hello,

I am currently using a Napatech capture card (http://www.napatech.com/products/nt4e-std) to capture network traffic. The traffic is captured by the card and then sent to virtual ethernet devices which were created by the capture card and that are visible using a version of libpcap that was compiled to be compatible with the Napatech. These virtual ethernet devices are only visible to applications which use libpcap or the Napatech API. Since OVS does not use libpcap to enumerate devices and to process the traffic, I have been unable to process the traffic from the capture card with Open vSwitch. Does anyone know of any ways which I could allow Open vSwitch to see the traffic/virtual ethernet devices from the capture card?

Thank you,


Zachary Miller
