[ovs-discuss] Proxying using openvswitch

[Scott Lowe]

The issue here—if I understand correctly—is that OpenFlow doesn't allow traffic to be forwarded out the same port in which it was received. To make this work, you'd have to receive traffic on eth0 and send it out eth1 (for example).

Happy to be corrected if I am mistaken.
